Otto Von Blotto Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 By "all malt" I'm guessing you mean making a beer without adding dextrose or other sugar to the wort? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Maby he doesnt want to add any hops? [sad] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Von Blotto Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 That was my other thought. I'm not really sure how that would taste though .. would be quite sweet I'd imagine. Of course, it is possible to make beer from all malt + your hop additions, every brewery in the world brews beer like that. Although I believe the megaswill factories add sugar to it as well... could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Carlsberg green is promoted as all grain beer so i guess its a good marketing scam [whistling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamB8 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 The few brewery tours I have been on they all add sugar. The most recent was Carlton where I asked why they dont just use all grain and the answer was that the process takes a few days longer than when they add there refined liquid sugar. She mentioned that one of the large breweries was all grain (Cascade I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hi Desa. is it possible to make a all malt beer of any kind lager ale drught? Your question really has two answers (IMHO). 1). Can you make an all malt (MADE OF PURELY MALT) beer of any kind lager ale drAught? For it to taste like beer? NO. It'll be ridiculously sweet & no matter what yeast you expose the ferment to, it won't taste like beer once it finishes brewing. 2). Can you make a beer that is very malt driven by its flavour of any kind lager ale drAught? The answer is YES you can. However there will still be additions of hops to balance flavours & add some form of bitterness, all be it subtle. If you don't believe me, get hold of some Saunders Liquid Malt Extract from your local supermarket, add it into a fermenting vessel with about 8-10 litres of 22\xb0C water, & pitch about 5gms of brewing yeast at it, then brew it & drink it. You'll have your answer right there. [tongue] Beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
