Biggest brew day project completed.
Wanted to make a South African inspired beer. So set my sights on sorghum and southern passion hops. Tolokazi brewery makes a pilsner and pale ale with sorghum in the grain bill and its really delicious. So I did many hours research heck even reading 4 scientific journal articles until I found what I was looking for.
So I did a 30l batch but decided to split the batch into 6 separate small fermentation vessels each with a different yeast strain to see which would work the best.
The six selected yeast strains were 1x wheat 2x wit 1x neipa and 1x kveik mideast 1xsaison.
Incorporating the sorghum was loads of works but lots of fun. From the research I ended up doing an acid rest, gelatinisation and then a short boil before incorporating into main grain bill and carrying on as usual. Keen to see how this all turns out. Was loads of work but loads of fun.
4kg Marris Otter and 2Kg Sorghum and OG was 1045
