Dark Beer Brewing - Short Summary 14/1/2016

After several experiments I've decided for this composition of ingredients for the dark beer which I was aiming for which has around alcohol per volume concentration 6% (alc), original gravity of 1.05 and bitterness of 25 IBU. Batch size (culture volume Vc) is 13 l, fermented up to 20°C.

  • Malts composition:
    • 26.9% (w/v; 3500 g) of Pilsner malt
