Making a dark drink at home

To properly brew a foamy drink at home, you will need instructions for its preparation. Also, a special book is attached to it, where various beer recipes for the Bavaria brewery are presented.

To make dark beer in a 50 ml device, you will need the following ingredients:

• 35 liters of purified water (tap will not work);
• 5kg regular pale m alt;
• 1kg roasted m alt (dark beer only);
• 1kg oatmeal (for creamy beer);
• 70g hops;
• 11 g brewer's yeast (dry).

Before you load the m alt into the brewery, it needs to be crushed, but not to the state of flour, but a little larger. To do this, you need a special mill.

Preparing a drink starts with setting the program. First of all, it is necessary to set the temperature of the m alt filling. For this recipeit will be 50 degrees. Then you can pour water into the unit, after which it will still be necessary to set brewing pauses. There are only four of them. The first pause - protein - lasting 10 minutes at a temperature of 52 degrees; the second and third - saccharification (the duration of both pauses is 30 minutes at a temperature of 62 and 72 degrees, respectively); the third - mesh-out - lasts 10 minutes at a temperature of 78 degrees.

When all pauses are set, it is necessary to pour the crushed m alt (light roasted) and oatmeal into the mash tank and start the brewery by pressing the appropriate button on the control unit. Now it remains to wait for the signal from the device about the need to add a new ingredient.

Total beer brewing time is 4-5 hours. After that, the wort is poured into a sterile container treated with iodine and left to ferment for about two weeks. The whole process is fully automated, and the device announces the need to load the next ingredient with a sound signal.
