boil for 2h.
many of today’s Flanders style beers are pasteurized and blended with sugar or aspartame to restore sweetness and body.
wheat (flour) pregelatinized but not extensively
toasted pale - toasted wheat
think how to add tannins to the beer.
Got 24L 1.059, efficiency 91%, 15.03.2019. NOT RED ENOUGH, add some carared. 2 decoctions pulled (to 63 and 72).0.6 wheat.7 Hallertau not 10.
ferment in the office, aircon at 18C, in the fermentor 20C.
25.03 - 1.025. No fermentation flaws. cold crash, yeast harvested. pitch Dekkara bruxellensis (Brettanomyces), 44x10(9), a week from propagation and Lactobacillus rhamnosus (it could be added later, but I want a decent acidity, to get red-wine like pH. Check the red wine pH and aim for it. 34x10(9).
in May, ferment another one and blend where necessary.
ensure a restrained air influx during aging.[a glass carboy works just fine. A plastic fermenter is actually too porous, while the amount of oxygen that seeps in through the airlock on top of a carboy and during periodic removal for sniffing and sampling is fairly adequate.]
Soak your chips in some neutral beer for a couple weeks before use.
use wine yeast for bottle carbonation.
add cherries if the style will be a fruit beer.
Lager yeast for some maltiness?
Started fermenting at 18C (starter).
Mash very thick to leave some starches even at the cost of efficiency
