Muddy Waters Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Ok I know a lot of people think Singha is a crap beer but I think it is pretty good. I've never tried what they sell in Australia but the stuff in Thailand has always tasted pretty good to me. Here is a recipe I formulated to make a Singha style lager and having just tasted it with only 2 months in the bottle I think it worthy of sharing. Here tis..... 1.7kg Coopers OS Lager 1kg LDM 500g dex 100g Carapils (Steeped) 15g Hallertau @10 15g Saaz @10 Yeast S23 Made to 21L I know 500g grams of dex may sound a lot but it works...trust me [rightful] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasond4 Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 I have to agree with you Muddy it's no a bad beer the Thai's brew, in fact it's far better than the Bintang in Bali could ever be and they have very similar weather...anyhow that's a great brew to do next ...start on Saturday[happy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam W Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 I have a Singha t-shirt, someone gave to me, no idea about the beer but i'm liking the the hallerau/saaz lineup. I've used it in my last three brews with coopers pilsner. Currently steeping some victory malt into a pils kit + 1kg pils mal, be2 + 30g amarillo @ 10mins. Us-o5 any tips? Would it hurt to dry hop some more hallertau? This is my first post ( & 6th brew) but plenty of northern beaches brewers, encouraging! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasond4 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Welcome to the forum Adam. The beer in discussion is probably the best Asian beer (IMO) with great malt taste and a nice fragrance of European hops all top off with a good ferm taste of alcohol(that's if you're not use to it)just like Coopers Sparkling Ale. But dry hopping with Hallertau after using Amarillo well I think go for it as far as I'm concerned its not really that different to using Cascade and then finishing with Saaz. Others may put their police hat on but a good American hop used for bittering/flavoring and then finished off with a great nobel German hop is a great way to discover the wonders of hops and how to marry different varieties together.....that's the joy of home brewing[happy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewie Rivers Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Good work Muddy. I love Singha and just happen to have a Lager to use.Have never done a boil before so advice would be handy. Is S23 a lager yeast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Waters Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Good work Muddy. I love Singha and just happen to have a Lager to use.Have never done a boil before so advice would be handy. Is S23 a lager yeast? Yep, S23 is a lager yeast. I usually do a boil with a 1:10 of malt to water however I reckon you could get away without a boil and just add the hops as a tea (ie. add the hops to about a litre or so of water just off the boi and let it steep for about 30 mins before straining the resultinng "tea" to the FV with the rest of the ingredients (a coffee plunger is a good tool to use for this). 100g Carapils (Steeped) how long? 15g Hallertau @10 (min boil?) Temp and brew time? Bloody hell do you want me to come and make it for you too [biggrin] Steep the grains as you would any grain steep - 30-60 mins depending on your preference (I usually steep for around 30 mins in water @ 68-75 degrees). As for temp and brew times just follow what the yeast packet says - I usually stick to 13C for lagers. Brewing times? Same as with all brews - Allow time for fermentation and for resting (Lagers usually need 2-3 weeks and benefit from crash chilling for at least a few days if you have the means.).

NewtownClown Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Not a fan of non-European lagers, however I remember 10 years ago really enjoying the original 6% Singha and, many, many, years ago (90's, I think) I could get Singha Gold that was brewed in Germany, in China! Very nice, malty lager. Last year I did not enjoy the Singha (5%) at my local Thai, however that could come down to the handling of the beer between brewery and restaurant.. Had poor results with S-23, will make this recipe with a Bavarian or Octoberfest Lager strain. Maybe a partial mash and replace the DME with pilsner and munch malts... Thanks Muddy, I think you've helped me find a summer Lager for those friends that are mega-swill Lager Louts, one that I'd be happy to imbibe[happy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
