This is the (pseudo) Sahti I brewed. It's pseudo cuz I did a simple infusion mash instead of a traditional step mash. I used Cypress boughs instead of Juniper because that's what I've got growing. Fermented with Espe kveik instead of the traditional Hiiva Finnish baking yeast. I did use proper Kaljamallas (Finnish roasted rye) which is where all the color came from.
Tastes good, very citrusy, almost tart (Espe is not supposed to have bacteria but 🤷)

Drinking that sahti on nitro tonight.

Sahti on nitro! This is pretty awesome. The smoothness of the nitro pour really works well with the maltiness of the Sahti and the cypress comes through nicely.

Sahti brew day today. Up before the sun because I'm a glutton for punishment apparently.
-
ok, based on my grains I currently own, I've come to the conclusion that I should brew Sahti next. So that's sorted. Now to cobble together a recipe and build up some yeast starters for brewing this weekend.

So, I never did a proper #introduction because I am not in to those things, but after browsing the hashtag for few days I decided that maybe this is the time to make my own post.
So I am guy in 20's and mainly interested in #homebrewing #brewing and #cycling
More specifically I started brewing my own #beer when I was 15, because it was the easiest way to get alcohol at that time. It became my hobby, I moved to #cider only because I couldn't get decent one in store. And after that I worked in #craftbeer brewery.
As for #cycling I am interested in #bikepacking #biketouring #commuterbike and more of a utilitarian cycling. Right now I am touring through Europe on my bike and because I don't have anything other to do I will be doing that for about 6 months.
Sometimes I post in Czech, sometimes in English and I also repost from #lemmy where I moderate @homebrewing

Drinking my homebrewed Kalsarikannit Sahti tonight. It's delicious with a ton of citrus flavor which I'm gonna blame on the Voss Kveik I used to ferment it, since I've been unable to get my hands on the Suomen Hiiva baking yeast which is traditional.
Regardless, I think this beer is phenomenal. And I definitely plan to brew it again in the future.

My homebrewed Sahti. Made with blue spruce boughs in the strike and sparge water and then the entire mash was boiled for half an hour then drained off, chilled and fermented with Voss Kveik.
It tastes very fruity/citrusy and sweet with a touch of toast from the kaljamallas (Finnish roasted rye malt). I'm really happy with how this turned out. If I could change anything about it, I would like to have fermented with the Suomen Hiiva baking yeast as is traditional.

This is the final gravity of the Sahti. I fermented it with Voss Kveik at 80°F/27°C and it stopped bubbling after about 3-4 days. This is the highest FG I think I've ever had for a beer. Gonna attribute that to the main mash rest at 160°F/70°C.
The taste is surprisingly not cloying considering the high FG and lack of hops. The spruce flavor is present but takes a background seat to the malty flavor. I'll reserve actual tasting notes for when it's cold and carbonated.

Heating up strike water for Sahti. I'm using blue spruce instead of juniper because I don't have juniper growing near here.
-
So I am going to attempt a Sahti brew inspired by this amazing woman's brewing process: https://www.brewingnordic.com/farmhouse-ales/brewing-sahti-in-pertunmaa/
I'll be making a few modifications to compensate for my equipment set up and available ingredients (blue spruce instead of juniper). But I will be direct firing the mash and will slowly bring the entire mash to a boil. She doesn't use any hops at all, and I'm still debating on that for mine...
