Coriander-Lime Lager
Posted: Sunday Dec 04, 2005 8:30 pm
Ingredients:
Coopers Lager kit
100g Coriander seeds
3 limes
250g honey
400g Maltodextrin
60g Halertau hops
500 light dried malt extract
500g Dextrose
Recipe:
Zest the limes then squeeze juice into separate cup.
Bring 2 litres of water to the boil with the zest in it for 20 mins
Put coriander seeds, cracked, into a stocking with 30g Hallertau
Have remaining 30g in another bag.
Add maltodex, LDME and dextrose to boil and bring abck to boil. Add 30g of the hops for 20min then remove.
Add lime juice and honey, bring to boil and add bag of hops and coriander.
Boil for 5mins then steep for 15.
Add kit and stir, then add contents to the fermenter, including bag of seeds and hops.
Filled to 23 litres and pitch yeast at 25C.
SG 1.052 - FG- 1018
Rack after a week. Another week in secondary.
I primed them with 1 carbonation drop (plastic Coopers bottles) and the result was flat after 2 weeks, so I added another drop and waited 2 weeks. Sensational.
I also primed some with dextrose and they were good too.
The zest and lime makes it a bit cloudy and it's probably best to wait 4 weeks before hooking in.
This a lovely beer that has a citrus after taste, but not overpowering. It's a great summer drop and would go well with a curry.
I'd even have some glasses in your freezer to pour this into. It just adds to the freshness.
I am moving soon and have put the brewery away until settled, and this is top of the list.
