So my friend and former travel partner Niels, got a beermaking kit by his girlfriend (see that`s the gift every mann should have).
Turn`s out making beer at home isn`t really that tricky.
Off course there`s a million way`s of doing it, and we probably startet in the easy end of the path.
It`s basically just heating op a certain amount of water, desolving a bought mass, and sugar in this water, and add yest.
After 4-7 day`s in room temperature, it is now ready to be set on bottles with a bit of extra sugar, and after 2 weeks (though better in 1-2 months) it will be ready for going down the hatch, as they say.
We calgulated (with somekind off formular) that we will end up at a nice 5,13 %, more ore less like a typical Danish pilsner.
Personally.....I CANT FUCKING WAIT!
Next up will be doing infusions of different roasted malt`s and playing around with sugar`s, thinking about maltose sirup (a barley tasting sugar) and rapadura, with i just got from a freind who was in brazil.
It tastes AMAZING, an completely crystalised solid brown mass, bursting with sweet plant like flavours. Looking very much like the wildest ganja, Im surprised how he got it thrue customs!
Anyway "Black Virgin", as we will be calling this beer, is well on the way.
A taste review will be comming soon!
