Notes:
Add 500mg potassium metabisulphite to 20 gallons water to remove chlorine/chloramine (as required).
Water treated with brewing salts to: Ca=51, Mg=10, Na=16, Cl=71, S04=71
(Keeping the Cl:S04 ratio even for a balance between malt and bitterness, hitting the minimums on Ca and Mg).
Grind the roasted barley fine (I use a setting of 10) and add it after the 90 minute mash rest is complete. This avoids lowering the mash pH too far and reduces the chance of astringency which can occur from over-steeping highly roasted grains. Once the 90 minute mash is over, stop the mash pump, add the roasted barley, and give it a good stir to mix it into the existing grain bed. You need to stir well as otherwise the fine layer of powdery roasted barley on top may stop the flow. Start the mash pump again and continue with your mashout. The wort will be cloudy again but it will clear as the grain bed rises to mashout temperature over 20-30 minutes.
Try and use the recommended White Labs WLP-004 or Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeasts. While something like Fermentis Safale US-05 (American Ale / Chico) yeast can be substituted and works well, it's just not the same as it's a bit too clean fermenting and lacks some of the complexity.
Serve this beer with fairly low carbonation (the lower the better in my humble opinion, or even better, as a cask ale). If you have the means to serve it through a beer engine with no extra carbonation at all other than residuals left over from fermentation, do it! I think you'll really enjoy the difference. I serve mine on a stout faucet pushed by 30/70 C02/Nitrogen blend to get a nice creamy head and close to flat beer, exactly how Guinness is served on tap. One cheap and inexpensive way to (sort of) mimic this is to use a syringe. Pour the beer as you would normally and then suck up a syringe full and force it back into the beer, hard. Repeat 2-3 times and you'll knock most of the C02 out of solution leaving a nearly flat beer with a creamy head. Over carbonation destroys a lot of the subtleties of this beer. Don't over carbonate!
add 88% lactic acid to the beer after fermentation is done, before kegging. This is said to be what Guinness does today because it's cheaper, easier, and more efficient than relying on bacteria. All is takes is around 3-4 ml per 5 gallon keg. Go sparingly adding 0.5 ml at a time until the taste is to your liking. You can also use this method to do a trial run to see if you like the results: Once the beer is kegged and on tap, add 1-2 drops with an eye dropper to a 16 oz glass of beer and see what you think. 1 drop per 16 oz is equivalent to 2 ml in 5 gallons. Careful not to overdo it! |

Notes:
Strike with 10 gallons at 170 to hit 157. Verify Mash PH is 5.2. Adjust if necessary with lactic acid. Sparge with 12 gallons at 165-170. Use a low attenuating yeast.
Pitch yeast at 50. Add 1vl for 2min of pure 02 prior to pitching. Ferment at 58. Raise to 65 degrees after a few days to clear diacytle.

Notes: Yes you can make an extract version of Lambic/Gueuze Beer. Its the bugs that make this beer special along as the months it takes to get the right flavors.
You can use a dry Belgian yeast like Lallemand's ABBAYe or BELLE SAISON or Fermentis T-58. Then White Labs 645 - Brettanomyces or WLP 653 - Brettanomyces lambicus for the aging part. The maltodextrin will be food for the little buggers! |
