Notes: Darker, red / amber color compared to standard Pils. Unusual bittering hop for a Pils. Actual yeast used was Wyeast 2252 (Rasenmaher Lager). The DME was actually 'Briess Ultra Light', but probably still 4L. I did nothing with the hard Indy water. Probably not even considered a Pils, just for the water alone! Hence the 'Old Bastage' name. I was too lazy to measure actual gravities, etc. Picture of glass of beer is after 22 days lagered. Beer developed better head and flavor after two more weeks in the bottle. This beer had a unique, complex flavor, It didn't last long once it was done lagering. |

Notes: Crush the grains, place in a grain bag and steep them in 2.5 gallons (9.5 L) of 168 °F (76 °C) water for 30 minutes.
Remove grain bag and bring grain tea to a boil.
Stir in malt extract and resume boil, add Cascades hops once boil resumes.
After 45 minutes, add the Goldings hops (60 minute total boil).
Ferment at 68 °F (20 °C)
The basis for the recipe is Watney's Cream Stout. I added coffee and tweaked the grain bill. |

Notes: Bavarian Hopfenbombe Pils #9
Lager - bottom fermented
Yield: 7.75 gallons
Target Fermentation temp: 48-49 F.
Ingredients:
9.0 gal filtered water
11 Lbs. Pilsen Light malt powder (Briess)
7 oz. fresh Saaz hops (boiling)
2 oz. fresh Hallertau hops (finish)
2 oz. Tettnanger Hop Pellets(finish)
2 packs Saflager 34/7 - made yeast starter in warm water
Boiled about 9.0 gallons of water total
Added 11 lbs Pilsen light powdered malt total, stirred well, and boiled for about 5-10 minutes,
before starting hop addition.
HOPS WERE PUT LOOSE INTO THE WORT, and hand-filtered out with a metal mesh strainer.
Hop Schedule:
3 oz fresh Saaz hops @ start of boil
2 oz fresh Saaz hops after 30 min
2 oz fresh Saaz hops after 60 min
2 oz fresh Hallertau after 75 min
2 oz Tettnanger pellets @ end of boil
Turned off heat, let wort cool for about 2 hours - removed hops by filtering.
After cooling, screen-filtered repeatedly until wort was as clean as possible.
2 packs of Saflager 34/7 were pitched into glass measuring cup
and a yeast starter created. Cultured about 12 hours, using 1/2 cup of filtered warm water, and 1 Tsp malt powder added after about 30 minutes. Stirred well.
Moved wort into the bathtub at 60 F. water, for faster cooling.
Waited about 12 hours for wort to cool, then pitched yeast starter, and stirred.
Removed half of the wort into another 8 gallon fermenter, for easy transport to beer fridge.
Then poured balance of wort into 8 gallon container from spare container.
Temp at time of pitching yeast - <>~ 60 F.
Temp was kept at 48-50 F in beer fridge.
After 24 hours, yeast became very active and started to foam.
Head was infiltrating into the air lock with active foam and had to be cleaned about every 8 hours
for the first 2 days.
At around the 3rd or 4th day, the head had started to fall.
By day 6: Fermentation quite active, a bubble once every 12-13 seconds (Fermentation Temp 49 F. (average))
Fementation died down after about 2 weeks. Air lock would occasionally drop and then I would add a little extra water and piston would rise again under pressure after a few hours.
Bottled on day 23.
Used 10.3 ounces light DME to carbonate about 7.75 gallons at 68 F. (2.55 Atmospheres)
After 15 days of bottle fermentation, all bottles were moved to the cooler, and temp lowered to 32 F. |

Notes: BREWING PROCESS
Multi-step mash method:
The mashing and fermentation schedule of this beer is more complex than most beers. If you cannot follow the schedule exactly, relax, don’t worry, have a homebrew! I’ll try to offer some alternatives to simplify the process.
Mash-in to reach a beginning mash temperature of 55'C (protein rest) & hold for 20 minutes. Ramp or raise the temperature of the mash to 63.3'C (saccharification rest) and hold for 60 minutes. Finally, ramp or raise the temperature to 75.6'C (mash-out) and hold for 15 minutes. Lauter and sparge to collect enough pre-boil volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Proceed with the 90 minute boil, adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil.
A simpler mash method:
Mash at 63.3'C for 90 minutes. This will allow for a fermentable wort that will still make a great Belgian golden strong. However, the head retention and clarity will not be quite what it would be with a multi-rest mash. Lauter and sparge to collect enough pre-boil volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Proceed with the 90 minute boil, adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil.
Chill to 17.8'C, pitch yeast, and allow to raise to 27.8'C over the course of 5 days. If unable to raise this high, raise as high as possible.
Ferment at 27.8'C for 2 weeks. Then cold crash and lager at 0'C for 3 weeks before bottling in Belgian bottles or kegging.
As I said, this recipe calls for a lot of advanced techniques. If you are unable to follow them exactly, keep calm and brew on! You will still be able to make a fabulous beer by following standard brewing procedures.
Extract Version: Replace 5 kg of the the pilsner malt with 3 kg of light dry malt extract. Steep the remaining 0.5 kg of Belgian pilsner malt at 65.5-68.3'C for 30 minutes using a muslin grain bag. Begin with enough volume to allow for a 90 minute boil. Allow the rinsed grain bag to drain for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn off the flame and dissolve the extract thoroughly. Turn the flame back on, bring to a boil and proceed as normal with the 90 minute boil, following the hop schedule and adding the Simplicity candi syrup in the last 15 minutes of the boil. Chill to 17.8'C and follow fermentation schedule as closely as possible. |
