Raw beer recipe convertion

Post by MashBag » Wed Mar 22, 2023 7:17 am

I fancy having a go at raw beer. Purely experimental to compare to an existing recipe.

Raw beer imo really means "no boil"

So if I have a recipe with the following boil & hop schedule..

45 min boil.
-15 mins. Add 30g hops
-30 mins. Add 40g hops & irish moss

How do I convert that to no boil?

Ps. No kveik will be harmed in the making of this beer. Ferment & yeast add normal.

I "think" you can use some of the more modern software to do a rough IBU calculation of whirlpool hop additions but you could also try making e.g. a Berliner Weiße that traditionally will have not been boiled or only brought to the boil very briefly by some breweries.

Good shout. I wonder if brewers friend has anything 🤔

Is Berliner Weiße that not a sour?

Edit : typo

If not try Brewfather, the free version will let you use a certain amount of recipes.
Yes it’s a sour beer, although IIRC Ron P would argue that it is more sour historically than a lot of modern iterations, including the most famous revival one from Berlin.
