Brewing Grains What Is Malt?
612.724.4514 [email protected] www.aperfectpint.net Brewing Grains Brewing grains are the heart and soul of beer. Next to water they make up the bulk of brewing ingredients. Brewing grains provide the sugars that yeast ferment. They are the primary source of beer color and a major contributor to beer flavor, aroma, and body. Proteins in the grains give structure to beer foam and minerals deliver many of the nutrients essential to yeast growth. By far the most common brewing grain is malted barley or barley malt, but a variety of other grains, both malted and unmalted, are also used including wheat, corn, rice, rye, and oats. What is Malt? To put it plainly, malt is cereal grain that has undergone the malting process. In the simplest terms, malting is the controlled germination and kilning of grain. Malting develops the diastatic enzymes that accomplish the conversion of starch to sugar during brewing and begins a limited process of conversion that makes the starches more accessible to the brewer. Malting also gives brewing grains their distinctive colors and flavors. Only the highest quality grain, called brewing grade, is selected for malting. Brewing grade grain is selected for, among other things, high starch content, uniform kernel size, low nitrogen content, and high diastatic power. Diastatic power is the ability of grains to break down complex starch molecules into simpler sugars for brewing. It is determined by the amount of diastatic enzymes in the grain. Barley is the most commonly malted grain, but other grains like wheat and rye are also malted. -
The Sugars of Triple
Schwarzbier 11/17/07 By Ted Hausotter 1. BJCP Style Guide 2. Hallmarks of Style 3. Style Chart 4. How Triples are different from other beer styles 5. General Observations 6. Common Judging Mistakes 7. Suggested Reading 8. Tasting Notes 9. Test Schwarzbier 1. BJCP Style Guide, Rev 2004 4C. Schwarzbier (Black Beer) Aroma: Low to moderate malt, with low aromatic sweetness and/or hints of roast malt often apparent. The malt can be clean and neutral or rich and Munich-like, and may have a hint of caramel. The roast can be coffee-like but should never be burnt. A low noble hop aroma is optional. Clean lager yeast character (light sulfur possible) with no fruity esters or diacetyl. Appearance: Medium to very dark brown in color, often with deep ruby to garnet highlights, yet almost never truly black. Very clear. Large, persistent, tan-colored head. Flavor: Light to moderate malt flavor, which can have a clean, neutral character to a rich, sweet, Munich-like intensity. Light to moderate roasted malt flavors can give a bitter-chocolate palate that lasts into the finish, but which are never burnt. Medium-low to medium bitterness, which can last into the finish. Light to moderate noble hop flavor. Clean lager character with no fruity esters or diacetyl. Aftertaste tends to dry out slowly and linger, featuring hop bitterness with a complementary but subtle roastiness in the background. Some residual sweetness is acceptable but not required. Mouthfeel: Medium-light to medium body. Moderate to moderately high carbonation. Smooth. No harshness or astringency, despite the use of dark, roasted malts. -

On Brewing Bavarian Helles: Adapting to Low Oxygen Brewing
On Brewing Bavarian Helles: Adapting to Low Oxygen Brewing by the Team at the German Brewing Forum www.germanbrewing.net September 2016 \I always thought something was fundamentally wrong with the universe." | Arthur Dent, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 1 Introduction Bavarian beer is widely regarded as some of the highest quality beer in the world. Many beer aficionados believe that it possesses an "elusive" flavor quality that sets it apart on the world's beer stage. The simple fact is that there are no real "secrets" to brewing Bavarian beer, but it is brewed with the utmost dedication to quality. This means that there are quality control factors taken into account that are often completely overlooked by home and professional brewers alike throughout the rest of the world (though not without exception). Chief among these factors is the role of oxygen throughout the entire brewing process. Ultimately, this guide is not just about brewing Bavarian beer, but about the importance of low oxygen brewing. That said, Bavarian Helles is the perfect showcase for low oxygen brewing because its flavor profile is defined by the unmistakable flavors of fresh malt undamaged by oxygen. Simply put, you cannot make a proper Helles without employing a low oxygen brewing process. After reading this guide, you will not only be properly equipped to brew an authentic Helles, but also to vastly improve the quality of every beer style that you brew. These instructions assume you are already an avid home or professional brewer and have a good understanding of the basics of brewing. -

Tucher Helles Lager Is a Blend of Oak-Aged Helles Lager from the Old Brewhouse and Fresh Helles Lager from the New
THE HIGH GRAVITY SPECIALISTS At Tucher Traditionsbrauerei’s two-city Brewhouse, the brewery’s unique story is built into its name, as the building straddles the border between Furth and Nuremberg, Germany – two Northern Bavarian cities with proud heritages. So prevalent is this cultural divide, that the border is marked throughout the brewery for all to see. The attention to detail doesn’t stop there, as Tucher has been producing remarkably consistent and clean beer for more than 350 years. A brewing range that stretches from their iconic wheat beers to an oak-aged Rotbier native to Nuremberg adheres to Bavarian brewing heritage across the board. With the cleanest of water sourced from the brewery’s own wells and a dedication to only using first-generation yeast, the Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Law) is alive and well in its beers. Helles Lager While much of Tucher’s strength has been on the back of its delicate helles hefeweizen, the original brewery was devoted to the Northern Bavarian specialties of oak-aged rotbiers and lagers. Paying homage to the brewery’s roots, the Tucher Helles Lager is a blend of oak-aged helles lager from the old brewhouse and fresh helles lager from the new. The result is not only a beer that bridges the gaps between the brewery’s past and present, but a delightfully refreshing helles lager with the perfect amount of depth.

Recipe may not use exact ingredients*4890* used by the brewery. If using pitchable liquid yeast, let the yeast warm up to 72 - 78 degrees F. The longer the yeast sets at this temperature range, up to 24 hours, the faster the beer will start fermenting. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS. VERIFY YOU HAVE EVERYTHING. SANITIZE EVERYTHING! Make sure everything is clean to the eye. Then clean and sanitize using sanitizers like One-Step, Iodophor, or Cleanitizer. If required by the manufacturer, rinse off the sanitizing solution thoroughly. In your kettle heat your strike water. Heat 1.25 qt. of water per lb. of grain to 20°F higher than desired mash temperature. Ideal mash temperature is 150°F Mix Grain with strike water very well, removing all dough balls, and measure temperature. ¼ lb Carawheat ½ lb Flaked Wheat 4 lb Munich Malt 4 lb German Pilsner Malt 3 oz Chocolate Malt 2 ½ lb Red Wheat Traditional Method: Mash the grains in the hot water for 60 minutes. Take temperature readings every ½ hour to ensure a stable starch conversion. Begin heating sparge water. Heat 5 gallons of water to 175°F, and put in hot liquor tank. Once mash is complete begin to recirculate the wort by drawing it off the bottom and returning it to the top of the mash-tun, while not disturbing the grain near the false bottom. -
