"There’s a dark smoke rising off the timber line, curling into the sky like a big black plume."

Wrestling with the beauty and intensity of the natural world and coming to grips with the human destruction of it, Plume bridges traditional Franconian Rauchbier heritage with distinct Southern Hemisphere terroir. Built on a rich foundation of Australian Dark Munich, Vienna, and Pilsen malts, this recipe features Gladfield Manuka Smoked Malt for a sweet, aromatic woodsmoke complexity. Balanced by clean, herbal German Tettnang hops, Plume delivers liquid bread crust, subtle sweet toffee, and a smooth, refined finish.

Smoke 'em if you got em! Savour the Good Things while they Last! Brew Happy! Cheers!

Method:

Preparation (Day Before or Brew Day Morning)

  • Clean and Sanitize: Everything. Seriously. Sanitize your fermenter, chilling equipment, hydrometer, mash paddle, and any spoons or hoses that will touch the beer.
  • Hops Prep: Measure out all your hops into labeled containers. This hop schedule has a lot of moves; being organized is essential.
  • Water Preparation: If you are using GWW (Greater Western Water) or similar soft water, prepare your salt additions now.

Brew Day Run Sheet & Timings

1. Water & Mash

  • Mash Target: Single Infusion at 67°C for 60 minutes.

  • Mash Out: Raise to 75°C for 10 minutes prior to lautering/sparging.

2. Boil & Kettle Additions

  • Bring wort to a full rolling boil for 60 minutes.

  • Add 45 g Tettnang at 60 minutes.

  • Add 30 g Tettnang at 20 minutes (add kettle finings / yeast nutrient at 15–10 min if desired).

  • Add 25 g Tettnang at 5 minutes.

  • Flameout: Chill wort rapidly to pitching temperature (10°C – 12°C).

3. Fermentation & Lagering

  1. Primary Fermentation: Pitch 2 x sachets W-34/70 or 1 x pouch Bluestone Pilsen at 11°C – 12°C. Hold temperature until gravity reaches ~1.020.

  2. Diacetyl Rest: Raise fermenter temperature gradually to 15°C – 16°C over 2 days; hold for 3–4 days until gravity stabilizes at 1.012.

  3. Cold Crash & Lager: Drop temperature down to 1°C – 2°C and lager for 3 to 4 weeks until crystal clear [You might prefer to do this in the Keg or at the very least rack off the yeast].

4. Packaging

  • Transfer ~19.0 L of finished beer into a pre-purged 19L Corny keg.

  • Carbonate to 2.4–2.5 volumes of C02.

Smoke 'em if you got 'em! Brew Happy! Cheers! 🍻
