Extra Dry (Low Carb Lager, TED style)
Enjoy this clear, fresh Extra Dry extra cold. Brick Road Dry Lager malt is already hopped to the perfect level. Just add 1 packet of dry enzyme to make this lager extra dry. Use the yeast under the lid, or if you can control the fermentation temperature at 12-15 degrees, you can add an extra packet of lager yeast. Simply mix with 1kg of dextrose or sugar, and add quality water to achieve your desired ABV. Beautiful!
Cost: 35
Equipment
- 1 30 litre fermenter
- 1 Large mixing spoon
- 1 5 litre jug
- 1 Cup
Materials
- 1.5 kg Brick Road Dry Lager
- 1 kg Brick Road Extra Light DME
- 1 pkt Dry Enzyme
- 1 11.5g Fermentis W 34/70 Yeast
Instructions
- Clean and sanitise fermenter, spoon, cup and jug.
- Fill the cup to 3/4 full with cold brewing water. Sprinkle in the dried yeast and gently stir in. Cover.
- Soften the malt can in hot water for about 5 minutes.
- Pour 2 litres of boiling water into your 5L jug. Open the can and pour the contents into the jug.
- Mix the concentrated wort and water well, then pour into your fermenter. Top up with cold quality brewing water to 20L for approx. 4.5% ABV. Add 1kg Brick Road DME. It doesn't matter if there are some clumps of DME, these will dissolve over time. Add the dry enzyme. Vigourously stir the wort with a large spoon to oxygenate it. Ensure the wort temperature is 9 - 22 degrees celcius. Gently pour in the cup of yeast slurry and gently stir into the oxygenated wort.
- Seal the fermenter lid and insert airlock. Ideally ferment at 12-15 degrees Celcius for 10 - 14 days.
- After 10 days, check the gravity. If the SG remains steady for three days, fermentation is complete. If in doubt, leave a few more days for better results. Keg or bottle your brew.
