Notes: The name "Fields Corner" is both a play on the saying "there is some corner of a foreign field that is forever England" as well as a tribute to the diverse people who call the Fields Corner neighborhood here in Boston their home.
Make 2x2L all grain starters from W1968 and same grain bill scaled to 1g at 1.040 OG. Preserve yeast from one starter and pitch the other.
Heat 4g strike water to 164F. Heat 4g sparge water to 170F. Single infusion mash at 152F. Sparge to 6g wort.
Boil 60m at 1g/hour boil off to yield 4g. Cool to 65F and pitch. Ferment at 65F then raise to 68F for a week diacetyl rest.
Package and store cool for at least 3 weeks before serving. |

Notes: Plan is to bake portions of the mash (like the keptinis descriped here: http://www.garshol.priv.no/blog/394.html) to achieve a darker wort and more complex flavor.
-----------------------------------------------------
Some results and lessons learned:
1. While the mash converted, eventually, as evidenced by an iodine test, I have the feeling it was mostly larger unfermentable dextrines. While the wort was sweet, it definitely wasn't as sweet as I would have expected. When I baked the mash I got plenty of browning, some burning, but little actual caramelization - my Chemistry-fu is weak (something I should correct one of these days), but that seems like it would be indicative of more maillard reactions than caramelization. Finally, the Voss I pitched (@102f, held at 95f for the duration) chewed through the wort to 1.020 in just a few hours (lag time was maybe 45m), and then stuck there solidly. Next time, mashing with some glucoamylase alongside the alpha amylase might be in order. If only I could find some enzymatic oat malt...
2. In retrospect, a step mash would probably be appropriate here; the oat malt is almost certainly under modified, and dealing with some of the beta-glucans would be a good idea. Next time, maybe rests at 113 and 122 would be a good idea?
3. When baking the mash, I preheated the oven to 500f (with several baking stones on the bottom for thermal mass), before turning it down to 380f with convection right as I put the mash in. The mash itself was split between two aluminum roasting pans, a pyrex baking bowl, and a cookie tray, and baked for about two hours. While the mash in the roasting pans thickened and browned nicely, albeit with less caramelization than I had hoped for, the cookie tray just burned and the baking bowl remained fairly liquid inside. Roasting pans all the way next time.
4. Next time I need to remember to allow the yeast more time to clean up; by the time I check the next morning, after brew day, this had already reached it's terminal gravity of 1.020, so I allowed it 24 hours to make sure it wasn't going to move, and then cold crashed. That was almost certainly too fast, even for kviek.
5. Results: the pre-carb sample I pulled, after closed transfer to a serving keg, wasn't bad. The beer evidenced some harsh burnt toast flavors, but it seemed like it would be drinkable, especially after a little bit of mellowing with age. After a few days force carbing though, it developed a highly medicinal, hard to describe, backtaste - perhaps the carbonation just made some compounds (phenols?) more accessible to taste, or maybe I got an infection during the transfer or in the new keg? I'm going to let this keg hang around at room temperature for a few weeks before tossing it, on the off chance those flavors clear up, but I don't have high hopes. |

Notes: BJCP 2015: "Rich, characterful, pale Czech lager,
with considerable malt and hop character and a long, rounded
finish. Complex yet well-balanced and refreshing. The malt
flavors are complex for a Pilsner-type beer, and the bitterness
is strong but clean and without harshness, which gives a
rounded impression that enhances drinkability."
Malt complexity in a Czech lager is achieved with the addition of small quantities of Munich and Vienna malts. These bring toasty, bready malt qualities, which in addition to final gravity 1.012-15 provides a malty, robust lager. Noble hop varieties such as Saaz, Hallertauer or Tettnang are preferred for both bittering and aroma hop character due to their soft bitterness and delicate floral, herbal and spicy aromatics. Low ion water such as that found in Edinburgh is perfect for this style.
A European lager yeast should be used with fermentation starting cool 10-13C. You can allow it to rise after the first 48 hours and it is recommended to bring the fermentation to around 20C after 1 week for a diacetyl rest. Pitch twice as much yeast as you would for a normal ale. |
