Gday Brewers.

Thanks to the inspiration and proposal from @Bulin's Milker Bucket Brews
I am proposing that the Q2 brew for this year be in support of the Ukrainian Conflict.

This is a community brew so its up to you - this is out of the normal Brewersfriend Quarterly brew format.
We can get Matilda to draw another brewers name from the tin Or brew a selection of beer recipes put forward by
Pravda brewery.

This is an exceptional time and I rekon a way for us to do what we love and brew for support for our Brothers and Sisters fighting for their Sovereignty in Ukrain:).

Whadya think Lady's and Gentlemen raise our mash paddles in support of Ukrain or continue on as per usual?

Let me know please.
If so We'll just continue on in this thread.
@Bulin's Milker Bucket Brews will link some recipes he's converted.



Cheers

I have some links. First one is the "Brew for Ukraine" colaboration with Pravda Brewery in Lviv, Ukraine, along with a link to the associated with it on Facebook.

There are 5 recipes in a Google doc, for pro brewers. I have scaled them to 5 gallon, matched up SG, ABV, and IBU as close as I can get it. Should get you pretty close.

Red Ale

Letter from former Pravda head brewer regarding water profile. I will update the target profile where I have information. And add a note under water notes.

"Thank you so much for joining us in this worldwide collaboration brew!

If you have any questions about the recipes, please reach out to me and I’ll be happy to help.


*Labels: please change whatever you need to change! Just leave the art intact!*


Yes, it’s all in metric. Sorry Americans, you’ll have to convert. Hops can definitely be substituted, same with malts. As for yeast, plenty of liquid subs out there, but hey I love dry yeast. Typically mashed with 2.5 liters of water per kilo of grain.


For those who want to get more technical, the water in Lviv, Ukraine is extremely high in bicarbonates. Below you’ll find the city water profile. Lviv pulls from different sources, so the levels differ slightly every month, but was able to calculate an average. Great for dark beer, not so much for light:
(in mg/l or ppm)

Calcium (Ca)

64.1

262.3

Bicarbonate (HCO3)

Magnesium (Mg)

17.2

0.0

Carbonate (CO3)

Sodium (Na)

34.7

60.5

Sulfate (SO4)



17.8

Chloride (Cl)


3.0

Nitrate (NO3)

I recommend using phosphoric acid for dropping pH if you’re planning on using this water profile, but lactic acid will do the job as well (you’ll just need more).

*Some of you are asking for target mash water profiles on the recipes - I will add them, but give me a couple days*


Regardless, what matters most is your contribution to the cause.


Be safe, help where you can, please share this on your social media platforms, and can’t wait to drink these delicious beers together!

Remember to donate your proceeds. If you need help with this, please reach out. Ukraine needs anything you can give.

Additionally, I’ve started an FB group for this collab. Please join & share:

Awesome stuff Bulin will check it out later.

I suppose leave it for us to brew the recipe that appeals to us the most...
 
Good plan
I'll have to see what recipe best suits my stock.
Just got most together for the red ale (Q1 2022 challenge). Depending on the weather, I may still have to stick with kveik Voss
 
Couple of notes copied from Pravda Brewery site.

"We are the only brewery in Ukraine that uses a refermentation process during bottling. When ready beer is bottled, the brewer’s add sugar and yeast, causing a secondary fermentation in the bottle, saturating the beer with carbon dioxide, carbonating it.

The shelf life of bottled «Pravda» beer is 6 months to a year, longer than any other Ukrainian manufactured beer, even though it is non-filtered and non-pasteurized."

I saw that and thought that it pretty much sounds like the process most bottle-conditioning homebrewers use. Time frames match what I do as well.
