Notes: A Scaled-Down Mash Schedule from Cantillon Brewery

The following is a homebrew-scale version of the Cantillon Brewery’s (Brussels, Belgium) turbid mash schedule. Based on the information presented in Martin Lodahl’s article, the Cantillon Brewery gets about 33–34 points/lb/gallon. The Cantillon grist is composed of 34% raw wheat and 66% malted barley. The recipe is scaled down here to yield 5 gallons of wort with an original gravity of 1.048 (11.86 °P), or 5 x 48 = 240 points. If we assume we will get 30 points/lb/gallon, then 240 ÷ 30 = 8 lb of grain. The barley malt fraction is 66% of 8 lb, or 5.3 lb of malt, leaving the remaining fraction of raw wheat at 2.7 lb.

The Cantillon schedule calls for mashing 1,300 kg of grain into 850 L of water (2,860 lb grain into 900 quarts water), or 3.2 lb grain/qt water, or 0.3 qt water/lb grain. Our 8 lb of grain therefore requires 8 x 0.3 quarts, or 2.4 quarts of water.

Procedure

In all of the following steps, the temperature and water additions were taken directly from the Cantillon schedule as published and scaled accordingly.

1) In kettle #1, combine water (about 2.4 quarts) at 144 °F (62 °C) and the crushed grain to achieve a temperature of 113 °F (45 °C). Mix the grain and water thoroughly and allow it to rest at 113 °F for 10 minutes. This amount of water is just enough to wet all of the grain and flour. The mash needs to be stirred well to make sure that all the grain is wetted and that no clumps of flour are present. Total time for this step is about 20 minutes, including the temperature rest.

2) Next, add enough boiling water (212 °F [100 °C]) to the mash to bring the temperature to 136 °F (58 °C). Do this over the course of 5 minutes, making sure to mix thoroughly. It will take about 3.5 quarts of boiling water to raise the mash temperature to 136 °F, and you will end up with a very soupy mash with plenty of excess liquid. Allow the mash to rest for 5 minutes at this temperature. Remove about 1 quart of liquid from the mash, add it to kettle #2, and heat to 176 °F (80 °C). The liquid taken off should have the appearance of milk. Once heated it will clear up and large particles of hot break will form.

3) Add more boiling water to the mash over the course of 10 minutes to bring the temperature to 150 °F (65 °C), again with constant mixing. It will take about 5 quarts to achieve this temperature. Allow the mash to rest for 30 minutes at 150 °F (65 °C). At this point, the mash will be very soupy and the liquid much less milky in appearance.

4) Remove 4 quarts of liquid from kettle #1 and add it to kettle #2, which will put it up to 5 quarts. Continue to heat kettle #2 to maintain a temperature of 176 °F (80 °C). The liquid removed from kettle #1 will be very cloudy, but not quite as milky as the liquid previously removed in step 2.

5) Add more boiling water to kettle #1 to bring the temperature to 162 °F (72 °C) and allow it to remain at that temperature for 20 minutes. Again, it will take about 5 quarts of water to reach the rest temperature. The mash should be very thin and soupy with a great deal of small particulate matter in the liquid portion.

6) After the 20-minute rest, run off the liquid from kettle #1 and bring to a boil in a third kettle. Add enough of the liquid from kettle #2, at 176 °F (80 °C), back into the mash in kettle #1 to bring the mash to a temperature of about 167 °F (75 °C). Allow the mash to rest at that temperature for 20 minutes. If any liquid is left in kettle #2, it can be added to the previously collected runoff in kettle #3.

7) After 20 minutes, recirculate the wort in kettle #1 to clarify it, and begin sparging with 185 °F (85 °C) water. Sparge until the gravity of the runoff has dropped to less than 1.008 (2.06 °P). Boil the wort, now in kettle #3, until the volume is reduced to about 5 gallons.

8) As the wort begins to boil, hop with about 4 oz of aged hops. The combined water additions and sparging should add up to about 9 gallons of wort. Total boiling time to reduce this volume to 5 gallons will depend on your equipment and methods. At the beginning of the boil, the wort will be cloudy and full of large flocculent break material. As the boil proceeds, the wort should clarify as the proteins continue to coagulate and the starch solubilizes. After boiling, the wort can be cooled using your method of choice. This method of mashing does not seem to yield the large amount of break that a typical all-malt infusion mash would yield. As stated elsewhere, however, your results may vary depending on your equipment and technique.

Notes: Bru’n Dry Stout | Stout

INGREDIENTS
For 5.5 gallons (20.8 L)
6.5 lb. (2.95 kg) two-row pale malt
1.3 lb. (590 g) flaked barley
14 oz. (397 g) roast barley
1.5 oz. (42 g) East Kent Goldings hops, 5% a.a. (60 min.)
0.5 oz. (14 g) East Kent Goldings hops, 5% a.a. (15 min.)
Irish ale yeast, such as White Labs WLP004 or Wyeast 1084

SPECIFICATIONS
Original Gravity: 1.042
Final Gravity: 1.012
IBU: 36
SRM: 31
Efficiency: 76%
DIRECTIONS
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.

Extract Version:

A partial mash is recommended to help break down the flaked barley. Mash 2 lb. (0.9 kg) of pale malt with flaked barley in low-alkalinity water at 120–150°F (49–65°C) (lower temperature is better) for 60 minutes. Add roast barley at the end of the mash. Sparge mash with low-alkalinity water (acidified as above). Substitute 3.5 lb. (1.59 kg) of liquid pale malt in the recipe. Use low-alkalinity water to dilute extract. Boil as indicated above.

Variations:

Many English hop varieties can be substituted in this beer. Irish ale yeast is preferred for its ester profile; however, a clean U.S. ale yeast may be substituted. For broadened flavor, an ounce or so of the roast barley may be substituted with black, coffee, or chocolate malt. If preferred, a separate liquor made from steeping the roast malt in low-alkalinity water can be created and added to the finished wort.

Notes: Based on KingBrianI's Caramel American Amber Ale, with some minor grain and hops variations. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=167880. I made my own Sugar #5 using the recipe found here: http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=114837, but subbed a little brown sugar (2 oz/lb) instead of all cane.

Will first try Imperial A31 Tartan with starter instead of Nottingham, will ferment at 65°/5 days; 68°/5 days; 70°/5 days, then add gelatin and cold crash to 34° before kegging.
