My paternal grandparents emigrated from the Russian speaking region of Galicia in (what was then part of) "the" Ukraine, arriving at Ellis Island around 1908 IIRC. Eastern Catholic, Russian spreaking peasants fleeing dictatorial despots, war and poverty. Looking for a better life for their family and their progeny. I wonder what they'd think if they could see their decendents today?
Anyway, as a small measure of tribute, here's a BeerSmith adaptation of "Putin Dry Hopped Golden Ale" from the recipe list. I call mine "Vlad the Impaler (aka: Putin Bugger Off)". It looks to be true to the original, but
the only question for me is the conversion of coriander from Kg to ounces. It's roughly 7 ounces which seems like a lot. Otherwise everything fits the BJCP style for Belgian Golden Strong Ale (25C). Here 'ya go:
13# Weyermann Pilsner
0.5# wheat malt
0.5# Caramunich I
.25 oz. Hallertau Magnum :60 min.
1 oz. Perle :20 min.
0.25# dextrose :10 min. boil
1 oz. Perle, WP :20 mins @ 170°F
7 oz. Coriander seed :20 mins @ 170°F
Mash as per the recipe, :90 min. boil, Ale ferment profile with S-05. The numbers work out to within a percent or two of the original recipe for my brewing equipment (7.7 gal. boil/6.3 gal batch into the fermenter), and efficiency numbers for a 17.5°P/1.070 OG wort, 8.3%, 27 IBU beer. Can't wait to brew this one.
Remember the brave people of Ukraine.
