I decided to look on the dark side and brew something resembling a Tooheys Old style of beer.
My local supplier did not have any roast barley and I thought I could do without it but inital tasting after primary ferment shows it lacks that roast barley taste.
Can I now make a tea from roast barley and add it to the brew when I rack it into a second fermenter and let it sit for a few weeks before kegging?
My original recipe:
800G DME
1.5kg Amber liquid malt
250G Black Patent Malt
200G crystal Malt
500G Dark Brown Sugar
200 Dextrose
28G Pride of Ringwood @ 60 minutes boil
15G Northern Brewer @ 45 Minutes Boil
Safbrew S33 Yeast at 18C
Grains were steeped for 40 minutes while water came to the boil.
Batch size was 18Lts
Im thinking of making a tea up using 100G roast barley and add it to the second frementer and sit back and see what happens :icon_drunk:
