Hopefully mighty malty matey

[Deebee]

have any of you ever been to Norway and tasted something called Vorterøl?

it is basically a very heavily malt tasting drink. In essence an unfermented wort that has been boiled, cooled then force carbonated in the bottle.

me, being me like this stuff and wonder what it will be like in an Alcoholic version.

So in a couple of weeks I will be doing the following

82% Munich
9,5% Aromatic
6,4% Biscuit
the rest wheat.

From earlier beers with lots of munich this should give me what I want.

hop wise I want something neutral for a single bittering Charge at 60 minutes.

Am thinking og tetnang to around 14-16 IBu
ferment with Edinburgh ( wlp 0028)

All being well this should give me a really malty and tasty beer og around the 4.15 mark

thoughts?

Sounds interesting and tasty. Use a very high mash temperature to make it intentionally less-fermentable, thus more residual sweetness in the final beer. Also, consider adding maltodextrine, for the same reason. Might I suggest some porridge oats amongst the wheat, this will produce a fuller body and mouthfeel? One last thought, I hate to dissuade anyone from that Scottish yeast, but you might consider Windsor for this beer, a relatively low-attenuator.

Is Vorterøl somewhat like low-alcohol kvass?

Vorterøl is basically translated to wort beer. Kvass I have never heard of.


I don't have any Windsor so think I will stick to the Scottish yeast or maybe some trusty S-04 Was thinking of mashing at around 68-69 I don't want it too sweet, but am trying really to get the malt through. I can add some carapils or porridge oats for sure. what would you say... 5-10 % oats?

I've tried hyper malt and super malt. Available in some cheapo shops. I love the stuff
Let us know how it goes please.

I think that would be perfect for what you're going for. Happy brewing!
