Notes: This is a first attempt to clone Sapporo Premium Lager from Japan.
Basis of recipe:
1) This beer uses rice as a main ingredient. I'm using rice syrup.
2) Buckwheat is also an ingredient. (Alternatively, Sorgum)
3) To legally be a "Premium" beer in Japan, it must be brewed with at least 75% barley malt.
Using the calculator and my stardard equipment sizes, I put in 900g of rice syrup (2x 450g jars), 500g of buckwheat (1 bag), and then barley malt until it hit the 4.9% abv of a Sapporo. That comfortably came to 76% malt. (I don't know yet if the buckwheat and rice sugar are in the correct ratio. But I don't want to weight out sticky syrup. So two full jars.)
My kettle is an Arsegan Easybrew 50. Similar (identical) to many other imports (Brewmonk, Hopcat, ?). My fermenters hold 30L and this fits easily in the (actually 45L) kettle. So that determines my batch size. 30L of wort after the boil usually produces 4 cases of beer (ie. just under 28L after racking and bottling losses.)
W-34/70 yeast was chosen because of the very high attenuation (with light grains) and the fact that there's some in my fridge. Any good lager yeast will do, but the drier the better.
Sapporo invented the Sorachi Ace type of hops. They never sold a beer brewed with it. They prefer to use "American" hops according to what I've read. Estimates of the IBU of a Sapporo range from 18 to 22 IBU. So I'm using Simcoe hops (one of my favourites) and 20 IBU as the target. With such a dry beer, there should be a subtle bitter finish, but not too much. You might consider 15 IBU but I think 25 IBU would be too much.
Sapporo has no hops aroma when you drink it. Thus, no second drop for aroma hops. Only bittering.
The malt calculations started with only Pilsner malt. I added Vienna malt to bring a bit of colour and maltiness to the beer. These still keep the end result very dry. This is the least malt I have ever used in a 30L brew, so not sure what the result will be. With a total of 3.9kg I don't think it will be too malty. I normally use 7.5 to 8.5 kg for a 30L brew.
I will adjust the recipe and update the notes in the future.

Notes: Before kegging/bottling, make chai addition
Chai Spiced Tea Ingredients
1 vanilla bean, split and scraped
2 cinnamon sticks
2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
5 whole cloves
2 star anise
24 green cardamom pods, split
1 black cardamom pod, split
2 tsp. black peppercorns
1/2 whole nutmeg, roughly chopped
1/4 tsp. fennel seeds
Preparing Spices
Bring about 1 quart filtered water to a boil, then pour over spices and cover in a separate container.
Let steep for 15 minutes, then strain to remove spices. Cover tea and keep chilled until used.
I blended in about 2 cups (473 milliliters) of this liquid in the 5-gallon (19-liter) batch. But you want to do it slowly, mix it well, and taste it. Different people have different tastes, so you're looking for a nice balance without being overpowering with the spices.

Ferment 64F for four to five days, bump to 68F till fermentation completes.
-----------------------
Notes for future brews:
(lower the amount of GP) Try with 3 lb Golden promise and 3 lb pale malt
Raise the Mash temp 152-154
Try WLP095 or WLP001
----------------
Was able to compare to a can of Fortunate Islands. The actual fortunate islands from the can was definitely more bitter.
Picture: After approximately a 7 weeks in the keg.
