Crisp Europils Malt

Globally, pilsen or lager-style beers are the dominant beer category. These beer types demand a lower modified malt to complement the temperature programmed or decoction mashing regimes employed.

Crisp Malting Group Europils Malt perfectly fits this requirement, being typically made from 2-row spring barley which is malted to give the required level of modification whilst maintaining a high level of homogeneity. Careful control of kilning ensures the required low colour is achieved.

Europils malt has a higher protein content which ensures ample enzymatic capability which, combined with the high levels of free amino nitrogen present, assure excellent brewing performance even when unmalted adjuncts form part of the grist composition.

Adjunct of the Month:  Dextrose

Dextrose brewing sugar, often referred to as "corn sugar" or "glucose" can be used in place of white sugar "sucrose" in either your fermentation or for priming your beer when bottling or kegging. Dextrose is faster to dissolve than white sugar and 100% fermentable. Dextrose often referred to as Corn Sugar: Probably the most common of the sugars discussed in brewing, Dextrose or corn sugar is made up almost entirely of glucose/dextrose. It will ferment completely, contributing more alcohol content than a similar amount of malt extract, and will lighten the body and flavor of the brew. Corn sugar will also ferment very rapidly, and will thus shorten the time your beer will need to spend fermenting. The most common use of corn sugar is as a priming sugar during the bottling process.

Common Uses in Brewing:

As dextrose is highly fermentable, it facilitates the brewing of very dry high gravity beers. Often used in lighter body US style IPAs.  Dextrose is also commonly used as priming sugar for bottle-conditioning.

Hop of the Month! Hallertau Blanc GR Type 90 Hop Pellets

Hallertau Blanc is a daughter of the cultivar Cascade with a fruity-floral white wine bouquet.   Hallertau Blanc flavor profile is said to be fruity, with wine-like qualities of gooseberry and grass, similar to that of Sauvignon Blanc. It also features a complex aroma profile with notes of cassis and elderflower in addition to grapes, grapefruit and lemongrass. Other notes detected in trials have been passionfruit, pineapple and gooseberry.

Brewers Guidance:

Aroma, particularly whirlpool and dry hopping to take full advantage of the very high myrcene fraction. With its pronounced tropical profile, Hallertau Blanc has strong affinity for many of the same styles as southern hemisphere hops: IPA, Belgian ales, wheat beer, and Brett fermentations.

GY005 Golden Gate GigaYeast is a versatile Lager yeast used to create the California Common style. GY005 ferments warm and still retains a lager character. GY005 ferments unusually high for a lager strain and still retains a lager sensibility (up to 20˚C (68˚F)).
GY005 GigaYeast leaves a slightly sweeter beer than our other lager yeast— perfect for creating a subtle, malty undertone against a clean lager background.  GY005 creates a moderate amount of sulfide under some conditions that will dissipate with a short rest.
Fermentations at traditional lager temperatures may be slow. Recommended fermentation temperature 13˚- 20˚C (55˚- 68˚F).

Yeast

Liquid | GigaYeast

• GY005 Gold Gate Lager GigaYeast - 1 x Gold Pitch

Dry | Mangrove Jack's

• M54 Mangrove Jack's California Lager Yeast (Dry) 2 x 10 g Sachets

Water Adjustments (Optional):

• 10g or 2 tsp of Calcium Sulphate (Gypsum) into mash water. (note: not included in the Kit)

Method:

1. Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 3 Litres of water to 1 Kg of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight).
2. Step mash option A - Do a 5-minute rest at 56 °C, a 15-minute rest at 60 °C, a 30-minute rest at 68 °C and a 5-minute rest at 76 °C. Recirculate wort for about 20 minutes (or until clear), then collect wort until final runnings drop to SG 1.010.
3. Single Infusion mash option B - Do a single infusion mash at 67°C until enzymatic conversion is complete.
4. Infuse the mash with near boiling water while stirring or with a recirculating mash system raise the temperature to mash out at 76 °C.
5. Sparge slowly with 77 °C water (est. 17L), collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 25 L.
6. Boil: 90 minutes. 1st Hop addition of 30g at 60 min and 2nd Hop addition of another 30g at 5 mins from end of boil or flameout.  Add your Yeast Nutrient at the same time.
7. Cool wort and transfer to the primary fermenter oxygenating wort and pitching Liquid GigaYeast GY005 or M54 Mangrove Jack's Dry Yeast at 11° C and let free rise to 13 °C.
8. Maintain at 13 °C for 14 days. Raise temperature to 17 °C for 7 day maturation rest. GY005 does not throw much diacetyl, so this step is to knock the subtle acetaldehyde down and expedite sulfur scrubbing by CO2.

9. If filtering, transfer to Corny keg and crash cool for 2–4 days and filter using your normal method. If not, crash cool and lager for 10–14 days until desired clarity is reached and sulfur aroma/flavor from yeast in suspension is not detectable.

10. Target a carbonation level of 2.2 to 2.7 volumes.

11. Drink Fresh or Lager (store cold) for a few weeks. Prost!

12. Food pairing - Spring Rolls, Steamed Mussels, BBQ Pork, Fried Fish Tacos, Delicately Herbed Chicken, Calamari, Oysters and Crab, White Cheeses, Salmon and Hot Dogs.
