Notes: Honey malt and Victory malt are replaced by melanoidin malt.
Tradition hops replaced by Mittelfrüh hops.
Crushed fresh apple goes into a muslinbag.
Ferment at about 65 °F (18 °C). Once fermentation is near completion after two weeks, raise the temperature to 70 °F (21 °C) to perform a diacetyl rest for two days. Then cool the beer about 6 °F (3 °C) per day for four days to help clear the beer. Rack the beer into a keg and force carbonate to 2.5 volumes (or prime and bottle condition). If bottle conditioning, leave the beer at 70–75 °F (21–24 °C) for a week or two. Lager at 35 °F (2 °C) for two weeks to a month. Serve at 40–45 °F (4–7 °C). |

Read notes for details on timing
Hop Additions
During the boil we are using T90 pellets just like St Austell. The boil is 60 minutes in total and hops are added as those 60 minutes count down to zero/Flame Out.
Once the boil has been completed and flame out addition added for 10-15 minutes then proceed to chill the wort to 80c and maintain the temp between 70-80c before moving onto the copper/whirlpool addition.
To take into account the time and process of St Austell we suggest that the Target T90 and Aurora T90 additions are added first to represent the copper addition that St Austell do, allow this to stand for 20-40 minutes.
ermentation
Yeast is pitched at 14/15c, allow the temp to slowly free rise to 20c and do not allow it to exceed 20c. A gentle rise will minimise the ester production and allow the yeast to do its thing at its own pace. St Austell do not raise above 20c, not even for a diac rest.
.
We are not stipulating timings as these can and will change according to time of the year, temperature and brewing equipment, our best advice is use patience, measure, smell, taste and remember to be kind to the yeast.
Once FG is achieved slowly cold crash (couple of degrees per day) to 6c and allow it to naturally drop clear or add your usual finings before packaging the beer (we used Clarity at the start of fermentation then Brausol at the end). For those bottling their beer you will need to carbonate as per your normal process and repeat the temp control steps for the bottled beer before the next step. |

Notes: 4 packs Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale liquid yeast (or an appropriate starter*)
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! |
