Smalahåvesupen is just over, and although that was a success, and our two batches were gone by midnight, the brewery cannot hvile på sine laurbær. We need to stay focused, think forward. Just over the New Year there’s another big party, and celebrating the 100th Year anniversary for GFI requires quality beer. With the success of our Voss Oregonian clone at Smalahåvesupen, we decided to brew another Voss beer: Natabjødn, which is a brown ale. Voss Bryggeri are so kind as to share the recipe here. Adjusted for our setup, the recipe reads:
- Malts:
- 5150g Pale (5EBC)
- 800g Munich (17.7EBC)
- 350g Caramel (118EBC)
- 250g Chocolate malt (1175EBC)
- Hops:
- 16g EKG (90 min)
- 52g Mt. Hood (10 min)
- 48g Mt. Hood (Whirlpool)
- Yeast
- English Ale Yeast, WLP002
Brew date: November 2, 2016.
