Farmhouse Style Ale #1

Time: Modern but inspired by Medieval Style Ales and Gotlandsdricka,
Author: Master Drake Morgan (Craig Jones)
Being inspired by Gotlandsdricka and Medieval Style ales, I went for a nice simple Ale recipe with some gruit ale spices.  I've added a small about of hops, enough for antimicrobial activity but hopefully not enough to make the Ale overly Bitter.
Ingredients - Mash:

  • 5 Kilograms Maris Otter Ale Malt, Thomas Fawcett's Floor Malted - representing medieval ale malt,
  • ​840 grams Weyermann CaraMunich II - representing Blown Malt often added for flavour,
  • 280 grams Weyermann Melanoidin - representing Blown Malt often added for flavour,
  • 100 grams Juniper Berries, lightly bruised,
  • 40 grams of Dried Elderflower Flowers,
  • 2 tsp Calcium Sulphate to harden the water.  
  • Mash Malts with a full-bodied English Ale Mash Schedule.

Ingredients - Boil:
  • After mashing (chose method for the equipment you have), boil wort for 90 minutes,
  • Add the following at 30 mins in a hop/spice bag (for 60 minute boil),
    • ​10 grams Galaxy Hop Flowers,
    • 5 grams Dried Hyssop Flowers and Leaves,
    • 15 grams Dried St John's Wort Flowers,
    • 50 grams Dried Rose Hips, kibbled.
  • Add Whirlfloc at 75 minutes (15 minutes from end).
  • On finishing 90 minute boil, cool and add wort to sanitised fermenter.
  • Add Yeast, I used a blend of Wyeast 3724 (Belgian Saisson) and Wyeast 3112 (Brettanomyces Bruxellensis).  ​
