Sah'ti

Wow, I haven't done a sah'ti variant in a while, looks like it's time to brew another one!

Brew Day: 30 Oct 2018

Partial Mash:
4 oz Munich
4 oz Crystal Rye
2 oz flaked wheat

Boil (20 min):
1 lb Bavarian wheat DME
4 oz table sugar

Hops: 14 g German Hersbrucker (@ 20 min)

At 10 min into the boil, add 22 g of crushed juniper berries and 3 black tea bags, in a hop bag, to the wort.  Keep the bag in the wort through the cooling process.

Yeast: K-97

Addendum, 31 Oct: Checked on the beer this morning; the yeast kicked off rather nicely and is doing it's job very well.  I may need to change out the blow-off bottle in the next day or two, depending on the activity.

Addendum, 12 Nov: Transferred to secondary.

Addendum, 25 Nov: Bottled today, on 1 oz table sugar dissolved in 1/2 cup of boiling water.  Got 9 good bottles.

Sah'ti

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.
