I prep the water quantity the night before with a campden tablet, in a sterilized clean bucket.

I add lactic acid to the mashtun and stir to aim for a pH of 5.5.

I add gypsum to wort before the boil to harden the water and Irish moss dried seaweed for last 15 minutes of the boil as a finings.

Notes

Brewed 20th Jan 2019.

-Sterilise stainless steel sieve, pot, teaspoon, ceramic pestle & mortar and muslin cloth
-Add 250ml water and boil for 5 minutes

-Add following spices to mortar and crush well:
1 level tsp cinnamon
2 level tsp coriander seeds
Seeds from 8 cardamom pods
2 Star Anise
1 level tsp black peppercorns
10 cloves
1 level tsp nutmeg
10gr dried orange peel

  • Add 1 tsp orange zest without white pith to mortar

    -When water in pot boils for 5 minutes, add contents of mortar and boil for further 5 minutes

  • Leave to cool for 20 minutes

  • Using sieve & muslin cloth, sieve off and drain spiced tea liquid into sterilised fermenting bucket

  • Rack boiled & cooled beer wort onto the spiced tea

    Note on yeast: if using plastic buckets & utensils, keep seperate from other brews as belle saison is diastaticus and can bring unwanted farm house taste to other styles.
