Beer Baron Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 After brewing pale ales and IPAs all the time I decided to do something different. I currently have a Bohemian Pilsner in a keg legering away and I have a simple pale ale in the fermenter as a keg filler. As soon as that hits FG I’ll keg and immediately brew a schwarzbier. After reading about the style it interested me. Due to a reasonable tax return I ordered a couple of batches in advance to save on shipping for once. Hopefully my milled grain for this batch will be ok. It will be about 4 weeks old by the time I brew with it. Schwarzbier Batch - 13L OG - 1.052 FG - 1.012 ABV - 5.3% IBU - 31 EBC - 50 90 minute boil 2.35kgs (70.4%) Pilsner Malt 0.63kgs (18.9%) Munich Malt 0.16kgs (4.8%) Carafa Special 0.12kgs (3.6%) Caramunich 3 0.08kgs (2.4%) Chocolate Malt 30gms Saaz @ 60 minutes 20gms Saaz @ 20 minutes Wyeast 2124 - Bohemian Lager Although I can’t change the recipe now I am interested to hear opinions on the style and the recipe.

joolbag Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Hey mate. I've brewed one Schwartzbier, it was extract and just before I got my AG equipment. It was very tasty and the only dark Lager I have ever brewed. It isn't supposed to be roast like a porter/stout, but rather crisp and clean and surprisingly light in taste for the colour. From memory mine had carafa special 3 in it. I enjoyed it and think K it turned out well. Perhaps on the brew list in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer Baron Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yeah that’s what interested me, the dark colour but clean and crisp. My recipe should actually say Carafa Special 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
