Extract Kellerbier Steam Pilsener
This was inspired by reading both the ‘Smoked Beers’ book and a cool artice from the Nov 2005 BYO ‘Kellerbier’ by Horst Dornbusch. Dornbusch’s article talks about Franconian unfiltered lagers and using ‘oak chip tea’ to simulate the barrel aging process. This time I'm using Anchor Steam style lager yeast fermented at 60F
The below is an extract version of this older recipe of mine in combination with this one.
Trying to imitate a barrel aged lager from 100 years ago when (presumably) malted barely had a slight smokey character.
