Notes

Traditional Norwegian farmhouse ale uses pale malts. Although wort is often fermented "raw" (that is, without boiling), this recipe uses a very short 10 minute boil to sanitize the wort and produce some bitterness from the hops.

The malt bill is adapted from my saison recipe. I also use Styrian Goldings hops in my saison, and since most Norwegian recipes I've found don't give much information (the closest says "any central European Nobel hop" should work), so, Styrian Goldings it is.

Except for this iteration (5/11/17), I'll be substituting Hallertau Mittelfruh, added to the mash, and Cascade and Lemon Drop added at the beginning of the boil and at 5 minutes. Remember, this is only a 10 minute boil.

This beer will be fermented warm (80F) with traditional Kveik yeast.

If I could add anything to this recipe, it might be some juniper branches.
