I'm brewing this particularly for my girlfriend who is a big fan of the style. Randomly decided to name it after a beloved character from The Owl House on Disney+ which we both like.
From 5 gallon version:
Ingredients
8.5 lbs. (3.9 kg) Vienna malt (3 ºL)
3 lbs. (1.4 kg) German dark Munich malt (10 ºL)
0.5 lb. (0.23 kg) CaraRed® malt (20 ºL)
4.8 AAU Hersbrucker hops (first wort hop) (1.6 oz./45 g at 3% alpha acids)
1.5 AAU Hersbrucker hops (30 min.) (0.5 oz./14 g at 3% alpha acids)
0.25 oz. (7 g) Hersbrucker hops (5 min.)
Yeast nutrients (10 min.)
Whirlfloc (10 min.)
White Labs WLP835 (German Lager X), Omega Yeast OYL-111 (German Bock), or Mangrove Jack’s M84 (Bohemian Lager) yeast
3⁄4 cup corn sugar (if priming)
Mash Guidelines from Original Recipe:
Mash in for a 10-minute protein rest at 131 °F (55 °C). Raise temperature to 145 °F (63 °C) and rest for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, pull your first decoction and let it rest at 145 °F (63 °C) for 20 minutes before boiling for 10 minutes. Add it back to the main mash to raise the temperature to 162 °F (72 °C) for a 30-minute rest. Pull a second decoction and boil 15 minutes before adding back to the main mash to bring it up to 169 °F (76 °C) for a 10-minute mash out.
Swapped yeast based on availability in my local shop.
1 liter starter at 1.03 OG on a stir plate for an expected ending cell count of 212 billion.
