6. up boiling water Where the original wort is too high the wort is diluted by topping up with water and increasing the liquid level correspondingly Care must be taken to replace evaporating water as well Conversely the liquid level must be decreased through water evaporation if the original wort content is too low which leads to a higher concentration of sugar in the wort and consequently also to a higher alcohol content in the beer It is essential that the boiling phase in the brewing vessel is performed without a lid This prevents the wort from boiling over but more importantly is also necessary for hops boiling to ensure that all unwanted aromatic substances can evaporate from the hops as they would otherwise impact negatively on the taste of the beer Adding hops originally also served to better preserve the beer Depending on the type of hops and bitter substance content add the first batch of hops Page 14 of 32 Speidels Braumeister to the boiling wort 10 to 15 minutes after boiling has started The hops remains in the wort during the entire boiling period as its substances only begin to unfold their effect after boiling for some time thereby imparting the intended hops bitterness to the beer The resins and oils in the hops are also released which then ultimately gives the wort its malt flavour You can then add another batch of hops approx 10 min before the end of the boiling period which merely adds to the flavour Addition

Fill the wort into a sterile 30 1 plastic vessel using a funnel see image or pipe First disinfect the vessel and filling aids with sulphuric acid Do not allow sediment on the base of the vessel to flow out Add 7g dry yeast to the wort and seal fermentation vessel by means of the fermentation lock filled with sulphuric acid Store the container in a dark location at 16 20 C Fermentation begins after approx 12 hours Remember Fill 1 5 31 wort into a container and freeze before adding yeast Fermentation duration 3 5 days Fermentation is complete when no more fermentation bubbles escape Prepare the maturation bottles while fermentation is in progress Sterilise flip top bottles in the oven at a temperature of 130 C and allow to cool in the oven Boil the rubber seals Defrost frozen wort and carefully pour into fermentation vessel 1 hour before decanting First remove a little foam from the top using a ladle Do not move the vessel again before decanting Fill into bottles kegs or maturation vessels accessory using a pipe Do not fill bottles more than 90 95 Allow bottles to stand at even temperature for 1 2 days and ventilate briefly on a daily basis only in case of excess pressure Then allow the beer to mature a further 3 4 weeks at a temperature of 10 15 C You can find additional recipes at www speidels braumeister de Page 20 of 32 Speidels Braumeister 13 Brewing faults troubleshooting
8. For this reason beginners are recommended to start with top fermented beer types as not everyone has an additional fridge at their disposal Maintaining the temperature is extremely important Temperatures that are too low cause the yeast cells to become active too slowly or not at all Temperatures that are too high can lead to the yeast cells dying off Fermentation should be active 6 12 hours after the yeast has been added you can determine this by simply checking for escaping gas bubbles from the fermentation lock Fermentation takes 2 4 days Dark yeast spots may occur on the fermentation foam during the fermentation process These can be removed by means of a sterile wooden spoon Should you remove wort via the drainage tap during the main Page 16 of 32 Speidels Braumeister 11 9 fermentation period e g for measurements using the beer spindle immediately clean the tap and disinfect using a cotton wool ball and sulphuric acid where necessary This prevents surface drying and subsequent infection by inherent bacteria during decanting Maturation During secondary fermentation or maturation all sugars remaining from the main fermentation process and added sugars are fermented causing the green beer to build up carbon dioxide which is of significance for subsequent formation of foam foam stability and freshness The beer also matures to perfection as regards taste and a natural clarity is achieved as well As soon as ferment
