Brewer's Notes
This is a recipe designed by Richard Swindells to create a flavoursome Vienna Lager.
Recipe – 80% efficiency OG: 1.054
Water:
- 17.5l Colchester Tap 156 kH residual alkalinity – (kH is a measure of alkalinity in the water for the mash to buffer with to create the best pH conditions for the enzymes to work, depending on what temperature you choose to use in the mash. Lower temps i.e. 63C, make more fermentable worts. Higher mash temps i.e. 72C, make less fermentable worts. Less fermentable worts exhibit more body as the enzymes create more complex sugars that yeasts can’t readily metabolise (dextrins, which also make you fart the morning after.).
- 17.5l RO
- 3.5g Chloride
- 1.5g Sulphate
- 5ml 80% Lactic acid
- Final Water Profile (mg/l):
- Cal: 83, Mg: 8, Na 24, Cl 89, So4: 61, Alk 55, RA -9, pH 5.4
