Brude on Brunday

April brewing is sweet. Though we spent most of the day in the basement bottling up a storm and having some serious eraculation, the gods have blessed us with another sunny day. We don't brew on Shabas but it is really a sin to drink on passover? We have so much beer now and I feel as though a celebration is in order for being so blessed with the finest yeasts from throughout the world. I say we fill the kegs and Drink to Moses! Lemme know what you all think...
We were thinkin ahead and made some delicious beers to embrace another lovely spring. Feelin Witty? Try this one
13LB Pilsner Malt
5 Lb Wheat flakes
Mash at 150 for 90 mins, then 155 for 30 mins.
Sparge out at 170 (sparging is when you run hot water through the grains to bring out all the sweet wort which will eventually be pooped out as alcohol(by the yeast))
60 minute boil where you gradually add hops and other adjuncts
Beginning of boil- 1.5 Oz Tettnang
- .5 Oz Spaltz(Varities of hops)
with 15 minutes left-1 Oz Spaltz
.5 Oz Tettnang
2 Oz Sweet orange peel(dried)
2 Oz Bitter Orange peel(dried)
1 LB Honey(Orange Blossom)
Sounds yummy all ready Eh?
End of Boil(as you turn off the burner)
-Kicker of Spaltz
-1 OZ Chamolile(like the tea)
Dump in the yeast and give it a week or two to do it's thing, bottle it up and and two weeks you'll be chillin
Chag Sameach, Drink to Moses

Nice post. What do you call that recipe? And yes, unfortuneatley, I do consider it a sin to drink beer on passover, especially now that we make it and I connect it directly with god's gift of grain.
