German malz bier

54 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
7 pounds Light unhopped syrup
2 pounds Cara-pils malt
2 pounds Light crystal malt
1 pounds Extra rich crystal malt
½ ounce Hallertauer (5.0% alpha)
1 ounce Willamette (4.5 alpha)
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Citric acid
1 teaspoon Yeast nutrient
1 tablespoon Irish moss
Edme ale yeast

Directions

Mash cara-pils and crystal malt for 2 hours in 140 degree water. Sparge to make 4 gallons. Add syrup and Hallertauer hops. Boil 60 minutes, adding Irish moss in last 30 minutes. Decant to primary, adding enough water to make 5 gallons. Add salt, citric acid, yeast nutrient, and dry hop with Willamette hops. A year or so ago I went to a party where the host had about 20 different types of good beer. One was a German malz bier that was delicious! It has a wonderful sweet, malty, full-bodied flavor. Working on the assumption that its body is achieved with dextrin and crystal malt, I cooked up this recipe. The intent is to have all or most of the dextrin and caramelized maltose remain after fermentation for the malz taste and body.
