Made for my son on his 20th birthday. He's Halländsk and Blond.
First impression - more than happy with it.
Fermentation at 23°C is way too hot for a Blond. Guess it's a Blondish.
IBU could be lower, but after a week or so of bottle conditioning it feels way better than the flat sample I tasted while bottling.
First brew 2022-10-04
Fermented @23°C, letting it rise after reaching half the attenuation. Finished fermenting after four days. No noticable off-flavours. LOTS of contribution from the yeast.
IBU too high, 20 might've been better.
When using liquid 33% Calcium Chloride (which I do) use 3 times the weight of the anhydrous Calcium Chloride
1ml 88% lactic acid = 1.21 grams
In total:
2 g Gypsum
2 g CaCl anhýdrous => 6 g liquid 33% CaCl
Target pH 5.4, 7 g => 7/1,21 = 5,785123967 ml => I'm going with 5 ml, don't want too sour beer, I'm afraid the belgo-yeast will lower the pH even more.
