Tooheys Extra Dry Style
Tooheys Extra Dry Style
You will need:
- 1 Can Morgans Australian Blonde
- 1kg Dextrose
- 1 Dry Enzyme
- 1 Cluster Hop bag
- 1 Packet Saflager yeast
Procedure:
- Well in advance of preparing recipe, place 5-10 litres of water in closed containers in a fridge and chill*
- Place Cluster Hop Bag in a cup with 250mls of boiling water. Steep for 10 minutes.
- Mix Morgans Australian Blonde and Dextrose in fermenter with 2 litres of hot water.
- Pour hops liquid into fermenter. Place hop bag to one side for later.
- Add chilled and tap water to make up 22 litres at 20-25 degrees Celsius.
- Stir vigorously for 5 minutes. Tip hop bag into fermenter.
- Sprinkle in Saflager Yeast** and Dry Enzyme.
- Seal fermenter and store in cool conditions ***
Notes:
* Use sterilized containers with lids. Do not leave your fermenter to cool before adding yeast, as this increases the chance of an infection. Use the chilled water to reach a satisfactory temperature and add yeast immediately.
** Using a Saflager yeast will produce a crisper, clearer brew with a better flavour. If brewing below 20°C is not possible, the Saflager yeast should be replaced with a US-05 Safale yeast.
*** Try to maintain a cool, even temperature in the fermenter, ideally down to 12°C. Place your fermenter next to brick walls or on a cement slab, or wrap it in a towel with one end in water, if the temperature is too high. Use a Brewers Choice Beer Fridge Thermostat and old fridge for optimum brewing conditions.
N.B - When using a Dry Enzyme, it may take longer for your beer to finish fermenting. Test with your hydrometer and ensure the finishing gravity is stable over 48 hours
