Brew Tmavé Pivo - An Amazing Czech Dark Lager

Рет қаралды 1,646

Жыл бұрын

Tmavé Pivo is Czech for Dark Beer. It is a little known and not often brewed lager style.
However, this is one of the most drinkable beers I know, and has become my favorite dark lager.
It's almost as light as a pale lager, and is so easy to drink, that your glass will be empty before you realise.
How to brew Tmave Pivo.
This is a homebrewing recipe that takes a little time to do, as there is a full decoction of the mash.
The decoction mash includes a saccharification rest at 71°c for 20 minutes, and a boil of the grains for 15 minutes.

Thanks. Some recipes take me an hour or so until I'm happy with them. Others I'll tinker with and research for months. This was one of those.... I'm glad I did though, it worked out really well.

Thanks for brewing this! CDL’s are one of, if not, my favourite styles!

They've definitely become one of our favorites as well. It's an area I'd like to explore a lot further. 🍺👍

Hi there. I have just come across your channel and the videos are great. Keep them coming. Can I ask you about your grain mill what make is it? It looks awesome

@brewandbuild 8 ай бұрын

Good to hear from you, and thankyou. The mill is a German mill. It's a Mattmill Master. The rollers are large diameters and quite short, which means the milling speed is not fast, but the accuracy and consistency is superb. I'd recommend it to anyone, on a homebrewing scale.

I've just built a recipe very similar to yours actually, butinstead of a decoction, I'll go for melanoidin. Do you have any experience with this malt? What doses would you suggest? Thank you

@brewandbuild Жыл бұрын

A number of years ago , I used to use melanoidin quite a lot. I fell out of love with it when I started to notice a dark fruity taste in all the beers I was using it in. That's perhaps not fair to say that it was definitely the culprit, as I cut out a lot of crystal malt at the same time I cut out the melanoidin. However, the taste disappeared when I stopped using it. I've always meant to go back and try to narrow that down though. In light of that, I would not choose to go much higher than about 2% of the grain bill. It could be that I'm quite sensitive to the taste, but it's an off putting taste once you start to notice it. Also, the melanoidin produced through decoction is very light, so to mimic that, the quantity only needs to be very small. I hope that helps a little.

Could Magnum be a substitute for Northern Brewer?

@brewandbuild Жыл бұрын

Magnum is a hop I've not used. Northern Brewer is always my go-to neutral bittering addition. However, Magnum is always suggested as a fairly neutral bittering substitution for Nth Brewer, and as I'm only using it as a 60 minute addition, I'd happily swap those two out.

Please, how many liters is this recipe for ?? 20 liters ??

@brewandbuild 9 ай бұрын

That's a very difficult measurement to go by, as my losses are going to be different to someone elses losses. Howver, I can give some idea. I use 25 litres as a full boil volume mash. I put about 18 litres into the fermenter, and end up bottling about 17 litres. It's because losses are variable, that I always try to give quantities in percentages and IBU, so that my recipes can easily be scaled up or down. I hope that helps.
