Notes

Our first attempt at a modified-to-taste version of our original Altbier recipe.

  • Fermentation temperature stable at 18°C

  • at the end of sparging, strike water not exceeding 168–170 °F (76–77 °C) is important. if its lower, not the biggest deal, potential loss of probably .2 to .4 ABV absolute max using room temp water in a light sparge.

  • since hop additions are mostly in pellet form, will need to whirlpool after cooling for ~45 minutes, then siphon the wort off the trub in the kettle.

  • At bottling, went with 1.6 vol CO2 for the Tartan yeast (scotch) since that yeast seems to like going crazy in bottles. measured for 1.8 vols CO2 for the altbier yeast. Tartan Yeast batch had an autosiphon equipment failure that resulted in additional undesired aeration of the beer right before bottling.
