Beer Style: Dusseldorf-Style Altbeir
Recipe Type: all-grain
Yield: 5 gallons
Description:
Adapted from 'Historic Brewing Company’s Deer Lord Altbier' from the American Homebrewers Association website. Where to start explaining this adaptation? Well, for one, we had to find an American style Dusseldorf Altbeir recipe to have any hopes of substituting the malts in the grain bill. The grain bill was increased 20% to come close to the 1.049 OG of the original recipe. That helped get the color closer to the 16 SRM of the original recipe too. The yeast was substituted with SafAle K-97 which is a German ale yeast strain that we think is the closest substitute.
