Ambacht Matzobraü

[OldBunny]

Came across an article today in the Daily Forward that talked about Matzobraü from Ambacht Brewery in Hillsboro Oregon.

It appears to be a Belgian golden ale made with leftover matzah in the mash and primed with honey. Couldn't find a recipe anywhere.

Any ideas what the "grain" bill might look like?

Just talked with a guy from Ambacht last weekend who told me about it.
He said it had a lot of rye character, for what it is worth.
They prime all their beers with honey, you can find tons of carbonation calculators that can use honey for priming.
I'd guess tons of 2 row or pilsner malt, matzah, and perhaps some aromatic for the grist. Matzah probably will be hard to lauter, I would think it turns into a doughy mess. Rye malt might be a good sub.
You might try emailing the brewer, he's a nice guy and started out nano brewing in his garage in Hillsboro.

Thanks, I'll try emailing him.
