Chop & Brew - Episode 10: Boat Bitter

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

It's summer in the city and we're in need of a low-alcohol, yet high-flavor beer. Enter Wyeast Brand Manager Michael Dawson with the cure: Boat Bitter. Dawson has some great advice for crafting a superb session-strength British Bitter utilizing a limited edition yeast strain, Wyeast 1026 British Cask Ale. And if you know Dawson, you know you'll want to grab a beer and a notepad for this episode. Brew Small! [Original postdate: August 8, 2013] #homebrew #britishbitter #allgrainbrewing

    They are usually built in a way that they are elevated/lifted in place above the ball valve by stainless steel "legs" for lack of better term. And fit right up against the wall of the kettle to keep grain from getting below. Bazookas work well though as well.

    Lazy Saturday since I found out the transfer station for the dump was closed. I'm sure you allready saw the rant on Facebook 😂. You really need to get Dawson on more videos. Found a Distillery 45 minutes east that makes their own malt. 35 bucks for a sack of Pilsen, Vienna, Pale or, Munich malt. They also have wheat and red rye. Need to ask if the wheat is malted next time I am in. That would be fun to do a 100% wheat wit. Anyway, I digress. My plan this fall and winter is to really start delving into Mashmaker's recipes.

Nice to see Dawson back in action, and fun to learn more about making low gravity beers, something that, like you talk about NHC, you hear a lot about but don't actually see a lot getting made. I myself have a hard time spending the time and effort of a brew day for "only" a low gravity beer. But, if you have a good reason for it, do it.

    Same with a fruit smoothie, the chewing action produces extra enzymes from saliva to break down other components in the beer. I imagine it acidifies the beer further to convert the minerals into their salt form, but that's only a guess really...

    Session Bitter is a regular rotation in my house and one of my favorite styles. However, I can never seem to nail the "cask" flavor of all the great milds/bitters I tried in England. I've tried several different english yeast strains, but never the 1026 so I wonder if that's what I'm missing?

    I had to go and look at the recipe myself as a reminder (chopandbrew.com/recipes/boat-bitter-homebrew-recipe/) because I knew we'd been asked this question before. At the time of this episode, Dawson was still working at Wyeast and he suggested the more readily available substitue of Wyeast 1099 Whitbread Yeast. I'm going to throw a suggestion for Imperial Yeast A01 House or A09 Pub. Both are English strains and high flocc'ers. Pub might finish just a slight bit higher FG so if you want to really crisp the beer up, House might be a fun one to try. (Looks like House might be closer in numbers in general to 1099 actually.) Run a quick vital stats comparison and lemme know how it turns out, pretty please!
