#sahti — Public Fediverse posts

I’m in Rauma at Olu Bryki Raum / Pub Hullu Hirvi drinking a locally brewed sahti. The brewer doesn’t understand any English but we made friends with one of the patrons who helps to translate.

#beer #sahti

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.

@Mutedog that sounds lovely. I’ve used Manuka tips in the mash before to make a NZ version of a #Sahti. I like the character that evergreen leaves/needles bring to a beer.

This is reminiscent of #sahti, the ancient #beer tradition in #Finland, likewise almost unknown, despite being the last living line of a once-prolific type of beer that predates the use of hops. Sahti, if anything, would deserve #Unesco recognition.

Berry wines also go back centuries. One word for the berries used is viininmarja, or ‘wine berry’ (related to Swedish ‘vinbär’). The tradition virtually died out in part due to Christianity (where grape wines were considered correct) and regulation.

The #beer thing is particularly annoying as Finland has a truly ancient and unique tradition in #sahti, but that is something that has almost died out!

Drinking Sahti while pressing Moscato grapes for wine.

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.

Toistuvasti ilahduttaa, että kävelymatkan päästä kotoa saa sahtia. Tällä kertaa mukaan tarttui myös liettualaisia muinaisoluita. #sahti #olut

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.

If you ever visit #Finland, be sure to taste some real #sahti #beer. A rare and delicious opportunity to taste an ancient form of #beer that has died out almost everywhere else. A unique tradition that predates the widespread use of hops (so uses juniper and other herbs) and is endangered even in Finland, but can still be found.

Enjoying a nice bottle of #Pihamaa Sahti at home after a tiring trip to #finncon2024.

@corruptian some even brew highly hopped #sahti #beer, which just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever, as it just breaks the whole ancient tradition of sahti.

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...

While reading about it, I just quickly went out, picked a twig of juniper (Juniperus communis), mixed it with sugar and water, with a splash of my wild yeast starter.
#sahti is a finnish beer, one of the oldest beer style in the world, made out of malt (barley, rye) and whole branches of Juniper.

My take on it is a quick version, omitting grains for a more soda like version.

Now, back to my reading.

@robfrominternet @akrennmair Well that’s excellent! I’m interested in getting my #brewery friends interested in making #Sahti

I love #hops and usually #brew an #IPA and something else for variety, but I would like to use #juniper on a brew instead.
