Preparation

Brewing Directions

1. Mash Preparation

Heat 15 liters of water to around 67°C (153°F). Add the German Munich Malt, German Pilsner Malt, and German Carafa Special Malt. Maintain the temperature for 60 minutes.

2. Sparging

After mashing, sparge with 5 liters of water at 75°C (167°F) to collect the wort.

3. Boiling

Bring the wort to a boil. Add Hallertau Hops and boil for 60 minutes.

4. Cooling

Cool the wort rapidly to around 12°C (54°F) using a wort chiller.

5. Fermentation

Transfer the cooled wort to a fermentation vessel. Pitch the yeast and seal with an airlock. Ferment at 12°C (54°F) for 2-3 weeks.

Once fermentation is complete, bottle the beer with priming sugar and allow it to carbonate for 1-2 weeks.

Chill the bottles and enjoy your homemade Schwarzbier!
