Notes: Brewed 12/05/2015.
Intended to bottle on 1/16/2016. The beer finished just above 1.020, but tastes very sweet. It's undrinkable like this; I can choke one down if I mix with something else. I racked it to a smaller carboy and added some amylase enzyme because I've been told that can restart a stuck fermentation, but I'm doubtful.
It did start fermenting again after adding the amylase. BTW, I think my LHBS ordered coffee malt for me instead of brown malt. That would explain why this beer is inky black.
1/20/2017: I just drank the last bottle of this. After aging for about a year it was really good, just served it a little colder than normal for this style to mask the sweetness (which has subsided.) I'm sad it's gone, and I will brew it again soon (using real brown malt next time, and fermenting a little warmer which T-58 likes so it attenuates better |

Notes: No boil, just bring to a boil, cool to 35 Celcius, sour w LActic acid and ProbiMage when transferring to fermenter. No aeration. Went down to pH 3,8 pretty quick.
Pitched 05 after 24 hours of souring directly in fermenter. Shaked fermentor as way of oxygenizing. Probably not enough. Next time treansfer with aeration to another fermentor.
Grapes in after stormgjæring/primary fermentation. MAshed, with juice and all in a mashbag in the fermentor.
Fermented down to FG 1.014, so bottled w 6gr/L just to get a good fizz.
Colour is gorgeous. Taste quite tart but subtle grape hint. |

| Notes: Mash pale malt and flaked barley in low-alkalinity water (acidify as necessary to produce a mash pH of 5.3–5.5) at a temperature of 146–150° F (63–65° C) for 60 minutes. Add roast barley to mash at the end of mashing period. A mash out step to 168° F (76° C) is helpful, but optional. Sparge the mash with low-alkalinity water that is acidified to a pH between 5.2 and 5.7. Boil the wort for 60 minutes. Minimal brewing salts are desirable in the water. As a starting point, when using reverse osmosis (RO) or distilled water, add a half-teaspoon of both gypsum and calcium chloride per 8 gallons (30 L) of water, or use a program such as Bru’n Water to guide the mineral and acid additions. |

Notes: https://learn.kegerator.com/sahti/
Historically...
- barley, supplementing with rye and/or oats;
- yarrow, bog myrtle, caraway, and other herbs were often used in its flavoring;
- traditionally brewed with minimal, if any, boil (= little hop)
- filtered through a bed of straw and juniper branches layered along the bottom of a kuurna — a carved wooden trough with a plugged bunghole at the bottom
- small amount of hops were added to either the mash or as part of the filter bed
- To build your grain bill, start with a base 80 to 90 percent either English pale ale or Pilsner malt.
Munich malt is found in many Sahti recipes and can make up from 10 to 20 percent of the remaining grain. Use rye in amounts up of 5-10% — though it can make up as much 40% — and a small percentage of malted and/or flaked wheat, or flaked oats could also be included.
- Whether you use hops or not is going to be up to your own preferences, and likely something you will want to experiment with. But remember, the bulk of the aroma and flavor in a Sahti should come from the Juniper branches and berries. When hops were used, they were added as part of the sparge filter or directly to the mash, which was sometimes boiled for a short time as a last step. In this way, hops could have imparted slight aroma and possibly a little flavor, but very little bitterness.
- Stick to low-alpha hop varieties and those of a more earthy/spicy quality. European hops are going to be recommended and should be a nice complement to the juniper. A few good varieties to choose from include:
German Noble Hops — Saaz, Tettnang, Hallertauer Mittelfrüh
English Hops — Fuggle, East Kent Goldings, Challenger
- Often, brewing water was heated with juniper branches to impart even more juniper flavors.
