Preparation

Preparation

1. Mashing the Grains

In a large brew kettle, heat 5 liters of water to approximately 70°C (160°F).

2. Adding the Grains

Add the pale malt, caramunich malt, and wheat malt to the hot water. Stir well to ensure there are no clumps.

3. Mashing Process

Maintain the temperature around 65°C (149°F) for about 60 minutes. Stir occasionally.

4. Lautering

After mashing, drain the liquid (wort) from the grains into another pot, then rinse the grains with hot water to extract more sugars.

Boiling

5. Boil the Wort

Bring the collected wort to a boil and add the Hallertau hops. Boil for 60 minutes.

6. Adding Flavorings

With 15 minutes remaining in the boil, add the Saaz hops, orange peel, and coriander.

7. Cooling the Wort

After the boil is complete, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath.

Fermentation

8. Transfer to Fermentation Vessel

Transfer the cooled wort into a sanitized fermentation vessel.

9. Pitching the Yeast

Sprinkle the Belgian yeast on top of the wort and seal the fermentation vessel with an airlock.

10. Fermentation Period

Allow the beer to ferment for 1-2 weeks at room temperature, checking for bubbling in the airlock.

Bottling

11. Prepare for Bottling

After fermentation, dissolve 0.5 cups of sugar in a small amount of water and add to the beer for carbonation.

12. Bottling the Beer

Siphon the beer into sanitized bottles, leaving some headspace at the top.

13. Sealing the Bottles

Cap the bottles and store them in a cool, dark place for another 1-2 weeks for carbonation.
