Method

Brewing Process

  1. 1

    Mashing

    In a large pot, heat 10 liters of water to approximately 70°C (158°F). Add the dark malted barley and caramel malt, stirring well. Maintain the temperature and let it steep for 60 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sparging

    After mashing, carefully sparge the grains with hot water to collect the wort. Aim for a total volume of about 12 liters of wort.

  3. 3

    Boiling

    Bring the wort to a boil. Once boiling, add the hops and continue to boil for 60 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cooling

    After boiling, cool the wort rapidly to about 20°C (68°F) using a wort chiller or an ice bath.

  5. 5

    Fermentation

    Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel. Add the yeast and any optional ingredients, like vanilla extract and cocoa nibs. Seal the vessel and allow it to ferment for about 1-2 weeks.

  6. 6

    Bottling

    Once fermentation is complete, siphon the beer into sanitized bottles, leaving some headspace. Cap the bottles and store them in a cool, dark place for carbonation for another 1-2 weeks.

  7. 7

    Enjoy

    After carbonation, chill the bottles in the fridge, pour into a glass, and enjoy your HOYNE Dark Matter beer!
