Source Notes:: November 2019, Vol. 25, No. 7 page 27. This recipe is based on the gold-medal winner kellerbier Mut Lager from Cerveceria Mut out of Quito, Ecuador. Special thanks to the Brewer Dora Durdan for her help pulling this recipe together for the homebrew scale.
Notes:: Use 6.5 gallons of water in the brew kettle; heat to 158F. Steep the crushed malts in a mesh bag for 30 minutes, then remove, allowing to drip back into the kettle. Turn off the heat. Add the malt extracts and stir thoroughly to dissolve completely. Turn the heat back on and bring to a boil. Add the first wort hops while raising to a boil. Boil the wort for 90 minutes, adding the hops at the times indicated in the recipe. Chill the wort to 48F, pitch the yeast, and ferment until complete (typically, two weeks). Cool to 36F and lager for 5 weeks at this temperature. Rack the beer, prime and bottle condition, or keg and force carbonate. If traditional cask-conditioning, don't prime the beer. Leave it "open" (in the fermenter), then bung it "closed" just prior to service.
