Side Pannel
Nightingale Dopplebock
Ingredients List
- 7 lb Light Scottish Malt Extract
- 1 lb Dry Dark Malt Extract
- 1 1/2 lb 80L Crystal Malt
- 6 oz Chocolate Malt
- 2 oz Black Patent Malt
- 8 oz Dextrin Malt
- 1/4 ts Brewing salts
- 2 oz Perle Hops (bittering)
- Alpha=7 6%
- 1 oz Hallertauer Hops (aromatic)
- Alpha=3 9%
- 1/2 ts Gypsum
- 2 Packets
- 2/3 c Corn sugar for priming
- Water to 5 gallons
- Red Star Lager yeast
Directions
Mash crushed Crystal and Dextrin Malts in a pan of water at 150F for 1
hour. Strain through collander into main kettle and sparge with 150F
water until it runs clear. Add enough water to kettle to dissolve
extracts (approx. 3 gallons). Dissolve extracts, salt and gypsum into
kettle and bring to a ROLLING boil. Stir in 1/2 oz. Perle Hops and boil 15
min. Stir in 1 oz. Perle Hops and boil 15 min. Stir in Choco late and Black
Patent Malts (UNCRUSHED!) and boil 15 min. Stir in 1/2 oz. Perle Hops and
boil 15 min. Add Hallertaur Hops in the last minute of the boil. Strain
though a nylon meshed colander into Primary fer mentor. Top up to 5 gallons
with cold water. Cool wort as fast as possible. (I cool- ed it to 80
degrees in 9 minutes.) At 80F add yeast. Ferment for 12 days at 40-48
degrees. Rack it into the secondary and let it sit and ferment VERY slowly
for 1 month at 32-40 degrees. Bottle and let age for a full month at 34
degrees. This brew is not quite as strong as a traditional Dopplebock.
However, the resulting beer was none less than excellent. It had a good
shot of malt flavor (esp. the chocolate!). The head quite creamy. The hop
ping was perfectly balanced. It is the smoothest homebrew I've ever had.
