It's not a big deal with this brew, the recipe in my book was done with the same bag of hops so it's already written out. The only thing I had to do different was throw a few grams of magnum into the 80 minute addition as I didn't quite have enough saaz left, was only short by 8g though. I also forgot I ran out of brewbrite so unfortunately no kettle finings this time around. Nice cloudy crap tasting pilsner ahead methinks...since that's what happened last time. I was gonna go to Hoppy days to get the bag of malt but I will go to craftbrewer instead so I can get a bag of brewbrite as well. Hoppy days doesn't stock it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something you do with all your beers or just when particular malts are used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirek Kania Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 I am not very expirienced, so i do tests. I brewed nearly the same beer last year, doing just infusion mashing. Now I have nice mashing tan with electric stirred, and can easyly try, if I can get better or worse, if make more complex mashing. I wonder if in fact my beer would get worse foam if I make protein test. That is the only reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some step mashes for a period of time but found the protein rest didn't do anything for my beers. Now I only step mash if there is a high proportion of wheat. I start with a Beta Glucan rest and work my way up. Good luck with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

History is written by the victors so all the French and English that wrote about them killed more of their own and other people. Now back to beer I didn't know there was a viking malt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirek Kania Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Viking Malt is the company with origin of Finland. It joined Danish Malting Group which was the owner of two Polish malthouses in the citys of Sierpc and Strzegom, since 2004. They own 6 malting houses in 5 different countries and produce cca 600 k tones of malt yearly. The malt is bloody aggressive, but if you know how to handle it , you can reach pretty good results. Just do not pull it's beard and it will be fine, mate. Some history facts points that our first christian soveraign Mieszko I was in fact a Viking, who took power in the state of Polans in 960. Then baptized Poland and it's people Polans (this name is no longer in use) in 966. Since then, Polish statehood is counted by the history. So, as you can see, Vikings tried to gain our malthouses for more then 1000 years, and they finaly reached the goal in XXI century. But only two, yet.

MitchBastard Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 After reading “IPA” a book about....well....IPAs, their history and everything in between, yadda yadda yadda, I became somewhat inspired and decided to put together a proper IPA recipe of my own. Something the neighborhood of a late 80s, early 90s American number. Not a fruit bomb like today’s modern rendition, but more English malt driven, backed up with some American hops. English ale malt, munich crystal carapils. burtonised water profile warrior, Willamette and cascade all in the boil to 65IBU. English ale yeast simcoe and centennial going in as a dry hop. After temp adjust, I came up 3 points short on my OG of 1.065, but not overly worried. Stoked on the color and the aroma of what I was left with. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a mythical story that Mieszko had very fat fingers and when he typed the word Polans he accidently hit the D key by mistake. And that my friends is how Polans actually became Poland. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
