My last sah'tea turned out pretty well; my wife liked it a lot, I thought it lacked a bit of juniper-ness. With this brew, I added a bit of crystal rye, and went back to adding the crushed juniper berries to the second half of the boil.
Brew Day: 7 Apr 2018
Partial Mash:
8 oz Munich
5 oz rye
4 oz English crystal rye
2 oz flaked wheat
Boil (20 min):
1 lb Bavarian Wheat DME
4 oz table sugar
14 g Styrian Goldings Hops (@ 20 min)
14 g crushed juniper berries (@ 10 min)
Yeast: K97
I followed all of my usual processes.
Addendum, 19 Apr: Racked to secondary.
Addendum, 7 May: Bottled today; got 9 good bottles.
Addendum, 20 May: Opened one bottle tonight after chilling. Carbonation was very light, not mature enough at this point. Even so, Terri liked the flavor. The beer pours with a medium brown color, with some light bubbles around the edge of the glass. I didn't try enough of it to really get a sense of the flavor, going to let this one rest for at least another week.
