Notes
DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 148°F (64°C) for 45 minutes.
Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule.
After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a strong vortex, cooling the wort if possible to about 185°F (85°C); add the honey and whirlpool hops, spin 10 more minutes, and allow 10 minutes to steep and settle.
Chill to about 50°F (10°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 52°F (11°C) until fermentation is two-thirds done (about 1.018 or 4.6°P), then raise to 60°F (16°C) until complete—about 1 more week. Crash to 32°F (0°C), rack to secondary, add keg finings (or filter), and lager 2 weeks. Package and carbonate to about 2.6 volumes of CO2.
BREWER’S NOTES
Water: We start with very soft water—I think that’s important. We use only a carbon filter, but most folks will need some heavier-duty de-mineralization.
Hops: We have used Mt. Hood, Hallertauer Mittelfrüh, and Spalter Select at different times in this beer.
Honey: It’s worth noting that we use soybean honey, which is very mild. If you use orange-blossom or some other funky honey, you will get a completely different beer.
Fermentation: We have also found that adding some yeast nutrient helps a lot on this beer, with its low gravity and honey addition.
