| Hoppy Ale | Beer recipe |
Description
Now, using the same base recipe (Gruit Ale), let's see the importance of hops in brewing today. The hop chosen to be added (Cascade) brings the bitterness and citrus notes to the beer, reminiscent of a pale ale. Although this hop variety does not originate from the time and region of early use of hops in beer production, it represents the modern hop culture very well.
*The bitterness depends on the alpha acid content of hops, boiling conditions and other parameters.
This recipe is provided by Castle Malting®. Please note that this recipe is just a guideline. Some modification might need to be done to meet different technologies, efficiencies and ingredients yield as grain dry extract and hop alpha acid percentage.

Step 3: Fermentation and Maturation
Cool down the wort to 18°C and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 18°C for 1 day then rise to 22°C. Once the fermentation is done (FG reached and off flavours removed – about 7 days), drop the temperature to 8°C and rest for 1 day and then harvest the yeast. Drop the temperature to 2°C and rest for 7 days.
Step 4: Cold Aging and Packaging
Cold age the beer at -1°C for 5 days, remove the residual yeast and carbonate until 5.0 g/L of CO2. The beer is ready for packaging and drinking. Enjoy! For refermentation in the bottle, add brewing sugar and SafAle F-2. |
