Notes: Just as the maypole is used to celebrate the coming of the warm season, this recipe also honors the ending of winter and the short, dark days. Maypole Maibock is brewed in the tradition of the famously malty and flavorful beers historically brewed in winter and then consumed in May coinciding with the return of spring and summer. Packed with delicious fresh, clean pilsner malt flavor and layered with a smattering of Munich malt, this lager is then just bittered enough to balance the malt sweetness and fermented with a clean, crisp, and relatively attenuative classic German lager strain. The result is a deep golden beer with a dense and lasting white foam head, and a complex flavor profile with moderately high alcohol content. |

Notes: Excellent flavor and strong hops bouquet. Hops blend (Simcoe, Columbus, Citra) gives notes of pine and citrus fruit with some of the unique floral and berry characters of Citra. Cascade goes in early in the boil due to low alpha content. Most of the bitter come from the Hop add with 15 minutes to go. Dry hopped Cascade to give it an all American balance. Medium bitterness with strong hop aroma and flavor. Higher than normal alcohol content for APA, at top of the band, but it fits. Almost an IPA, but would need to start with a higher gravity. You can lower the alcohol by dropping the wheat extract, but adjust the hops too or it'll be too bitter.
Yeast starter - use 3.6 oz (103g) dry malt extract (DME) [I use pilsner 2L DME] per liter of water. My starter is a 1 liter starter, assumed 6B cells per gram of dry yeast (US-05), giving 165B cells for a 144B requirement. If you aim for a pitch rate between .5 and .75million/ml/P, then it's good. You could just buy a couple more yeast packages to make it easier (which I will do next time!!) (each packet is about 66B cells). Then there's no need for a starter. Just hydrate them with tepid water before adding to wort. Aim for around 200B cells for a 5.5 gallon batch.
Grains added to cold water, which was heated to 165F and steeped for 30 minutes.
There are only three hop adds to the boil: 60 min, 15 min (with the Irish moss), and a quick 5 min in the boil. Use hop bags because it makes draining your wort significantly easier!, but don't put the moss in the bag!
Boil off losses should be topped off with distilled water during the boil.
Maintain in primary (at 70F, keep below 74F to avoid off flavors) until no noticeable bubble formation in fermentation lock over one-minute period (about 7-10 days). Then transfer to secondary and add dry hops in a sanitized hop bag secured with fishing line and weighted down with sanitized marbles to suspend in middle of carboy. 14 more days in secondary. Remove dry hops and bottle as below. [Post brewing note: 4 oz of dry hops are a lot! Even with 20 marbles, I was not able to submerge the hop bag completely. This is easier with a bucket type fermenter. Stuffing the hop bag through the tiny carboy opening is a chore and takes some time and patience, but it can be done!]
Priming with 5oz corn sugar, gives strong carbonation with good head retention. |
