Slurtis Staggersalot Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm conjuring up a recipe that goes like this; 1.7kg Canadian blonde beer kit 1kg Light dry malt 300g honey malt steeped for 45 min 250g Dextrose The question is should I add some hops? I have a fairly good assortment in the freezer... Cascade whole leaf hops Amarillo whole leaf Northern brewer whole leaf Mt. hood whole leaf Sterling whole leaf Golding whole leaf Saaz pellets Willamette pellets Hallertau pellets Fuggles pellets Cascade pellets Any advice on what would go nice for a hops addition would be greatly appreciated [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weggl Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Hey Slurtis, did you get my poem? Weggl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Eh!L Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 hi slurtis, i brewed a can.blonde toucan a while back with 500g wildflower honey. i used 42g cascade at 5mins and another 42g cascade dry hopped. it is really nice. quite strong in both ABV% and hoppiness. i also brewed a can. blonde with 566g LME (amber) and 500+ wild flower honey. the hops i used for that one was; 28g perle @ 50mins, 14g perle @ 20mins and 14g perle 5 mins. this one is a fair bit milder of course and wild that the honey is more pronounced. they are both around two months old. they are both good drinking right off the hop, though.[biggrin] i know you you were talking about honey malt and to be honest i don't even know what the heck that is,[annoyed] but i thought i might blab away to you none the less.[joyful] chad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurtis Staggersalot Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 I never got your poem weggl [ninja] honey malt This is the guy I get all my specialty ingredients from... He's in Vernon. Basically honey malt is just grain with a fancy flavor.

weggl Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Just for you There is a man called Slurtis a man who staggers a lot He staggers when he\u2019s pissed And staggers when he\u2019s not. He staggers in the street, the stagger will not fail Many times to his surprise He\u2019s woken up in jail. Counseling he has sought to remove this dreaded blot Hypnosis it did fail Seems that staggering, is his lot. His trouble it began, when he found the Coopers site His wanderings all commenced One September night. Many medical examinations found the dreaded fault It was air locks and fermenters Yeast and hops and malt. So if he could abstain he would lose the constant fear Keep away from Coopers And the art of making beer. But alas poor old Slurtis, resist he just could not So if you meet him on the street You\u2019ll find Slurtist still staggers a lot. Weggl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slurtis Staggersalot Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 Canadian Eh!L, I'm In Cranbrook, and yeah gotta love the overwaitea (Save On Foods here) $11.99 sales! I'm going to put this batch down as per my OP and I think I've decided that willamette is going to be the hop, but maybe cascade. I think I'll just do a short boil and dry hop schedule, this beer should not be bitter, but more along the lines of a sleemans honey brown with a little different hops and less residual sweetness. At least that's what I'm aiming for[bandit] Weggl That's pretty darn clever, I'm sure when my buddies get ahold of this little poem you whipped up they're going to have a good laugh! Cheers!

Slurtis Staggersalot Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 I'm steeping the Honey malt in a grain bag as I type! 328 grams to be precise. I'll steep for 1hr, remove the grain bag and squeeze all the goodness that I can out of it and proceed to boil the rendered wort for an additional hour (to prevent chill haze and ensure there is no live bacteria going into my brew. At the 50 minute mark of my boil I'm going to add 15g of willamette pellets (in another grain bag). I'll add the resulting sludge directly to my canadian blonde kit and 1kg of Light Dry Malt. I'm going to fill to 23 liters and dry hop an additional 15g of willamette pellets. Pitch yeast and wait. I'll post the OG when I'm done mixing it all up, any wagers guys?
