Hello fellow brewers from around the world.
One of the beers I will be brewing soon will be a warm fermented Pils style beer with Kveik. I would love your input and experience on the following recipe:
70% BEST Heidelberg
30% Thomas Fawcett Golden Promise
Yeast: WHC Ubbe ( https://www.whclab.com/collections/comercial-yeast-pitches/products/ubbe )
Predicted numbers:
OG: 1.049
FG: 1.009
IBU: 35 ( unsure whether to increase it to 40 )
ABV: 5.2%
I will mash at 65C/149F ( unsure whether to drop it to 64C/147F ) for 90 minutes, with a 90 minutes boil. Hop schedule:
25 gr Mistral ---> 60'
25 gr Mistral ---> 30'
25 gr Mistral ---> 20'
25 gr Mistral ---> 10'
100 gr Mistral ---> 1'
No dry hopping or fancy whirlpool this time. Mash water profile: Ca: 55 ppm / Mg: 10 ppm / Na: 10 ppm / Cl: 45 ppm/ SO4: 90 ppm and a mash pH of 5.3-5.4. ( unsure whether to increase the SO4 and Cl to achieve a more minerally finish )
I never used Heidelberg before, but read good things about it. I also wanty a fairly low-coloured, bright beer, which is why I chose it. The Golden Promise is there because I love this malt and because it will probably blend nicely with it's slightly sweet, malty taste. I also never used Mistral, but the description sounds nice. Sure, the descriptions found on this particular hop are most certainly very optimistic, but seeing that I want to try as many *unused/underutilised* hops, this might just be OK.
Thank you in advance for any input and reply you can offer me and this thread.
