Excellent :thumb: I've just found this...........
Tiger Beer clone, all grain.
And a bit about mash pH lower down.
Most visits to this blog come from people searching for tiger beer clones. Iââ¬â¢ve referenced it a couple of times, including one previous attempt at the beer, which worked really well. It was mooched from the Dave Line ââ¬ËBrew beers like those you buyââ¬â¢ book, with a change here or there (not necessarily because I know what Iââ¬â¢m doing, or anything). The first attempt worked quite well, the second was infected, and for Ms Homebrew, the third attempt will be ready in the new year.
This is a 'lite' lager beer, of the kind found in Asia and thereabouts.
3kg Lager Malt (Pilsner malt)
500g flaked rice
300g Carapils or similar
200g Acid malt
Recommended, 200-500g of rice husks or oat husks, as the mash Will be slow to run off.
Mashed in for a rest around 55oc for 30 mins, followed by the main rest at 66oc for one hour, in 10 litres of soft water.
Boil:
Hallertaur Helsbrucker (2.8%): 25g, 11 IBU
Dana (Super Styrian) (10.8%): 7g, 11 IBU
Flavour, Hall. Hersb., 10g @ 15 mins with a dose of Irish Moss
Aroma, Tettnang (German), 10g @ 0 mins.
Cool and strain.
This should yield 20 - 22 litres at 1038, which can be fermented with Brewferm Lager yeast, though this time I'm using a sachet of Saflager 34/70 sprinkled into the wort. If you can ferment it at the proper temperatures, do so, otherwise do as you can. Warm is NOT your friend here, though.
A diacetyl rest (14oc about 3/4 of the way through fermentation) is advisable.
