Riggwelter
Riggwelter
Hi all.
I am looking into brewing a Riggwelter by Black Sheep Brewery as posted here viewtopic.php?p=2472#2472
There seems to be an awful lot of chocolate malt in the recipe. I have had a search on the forum and there is a few posts saying the same but none of them say if they altered it in any way (or didn't).
I would be grateful if anyone who has tried this recipe (altered or not) for some tips.
Thanks.

I had a go a few weeks ago, Ive just bought a bottle so I can have a taste test, ill let you know what I think.
I would cut down the amount of chololate malt the colour was a little dark.

OK. I have had a fiddle with Beersmith. How about this:
4.28 kg Pale Malt, Maris Otter 70.05 %
0.55 kg Wheat, Torrified 9.00 %
0.37 kg Crystal Malt 6.06 %
0.30 kg Chocolate Malt Grain 4.91 %
0.001 kg Roasted Barley Grain 0.005 %
0.61 kg Brewing Sugar (Glucose) 9.98 %
+ the hops.
(I know it adds up to 100.005%, but Beersmith won't recognise 1 gram)

Yeah, you should be ok with that as it only makes up 9% of the recipe. The main difference between wheat malt & torrified wheat is that the torrified wheat is not malted, it is heated up & "popped" just like popcorn.nofe4r wrote:Was just about to get going and have just realised I have ordered Wheat Malt instead of Torrified Wheat.
Can I just substitute one for the other?

I have tasted a bottle of it in its young state and it tastes blooming marvellous. My adjusted recipe tastes a lot better than the original one IMO. I am going to give it couple of months (maybe until xmas). If I am tempted to sample another then I will take a piccy and post it.
Highly recommended.
