3rd - Table
Statistics
- IBU 29
- ABV 4.8%
- OG 1.055
- FG 1.009
- EBC 36
Ingredients
Water
Basically Munich Water. I've used London Water but have moved to RO to try and get a 'crisper' finish.
RO Water, acidified with phosphoric acid to gives an estimated Mash pH of 5.45 Added Calcium Chloride and Gypsum to give absolute ion values of Ca 59 ppm Cl2 67 ppm SO4 56 ppm
SO4/CL2 ratio 0.83
Malt
- Munich II, Weyermann EBC 24 87.8%
- Melanoidin Light, Weyermann EBC 50 10.8%
- Carafa III, Weyermann EBC 1400 1.4%
But... I only used the Melanoidin Light as there was no standard Melanoidin EBD 70 avalable. If there is then reduce to 7.5% of grist
Hops
- Hallertau Mittelfruh 40-50g per 33 litres (end boil volume) at 15 mins to go
- Bitter with something noble, or Vic Secret or whatever, to get correct IBU. Add at 60 mins latest or for the full 90 minute boil
Yeast
German Bock Lager (WLP033)
Process
Mash
Saccharification 68C for an hour Glycoprotein Rest 72C 15 mins Mash Out
Boil
90 minutes Protofloc or Brew Brite at 15 mins to go
Ferment
9C for first 70% of gravity drop 12C until finished 15/16C for 3 days diacetly rest Cold crash, rack/bottle when bright, lager for 3 months
Serving
Carb to 2.7 vols
Oaking
I generally split the batch into normal dunkel and oaked dunkel at kegging. I use oak in the keg - steam sanitised with a little water (then add the water too, loads of flavour :-) Oak - medium char oak spiral 1g/litre for at least a month, but really until yuou are happy then rack off (I generally just drink it from the keg till its gone) oak cubes would work well.
