Beersmith golden promise1/2/2024 Once the beer had achieved a stable FG, I sliced and scraped a Madagascar vanilla bean and pitched it directly into primary. More about that in my post about the no-boil NEIPA. (This is where I should mention again for context that two days after brew day, I slipped on the ice while walking my dog and broke my ankle. Pretty dry, considering the sizable lactose addition and WLP066’s reputed low attenuation! And by the time it finished, it had settled at 1.017-a full 7 points lower than BeerSmith’s predicted FG. After two days the gravity was down to 1.035. Lovely yeast, gotta say, and for sure delivers on the promised haze.įermentation kicked off in under 6 hours and was ripping by the following morning. Spices added after fermentation: 1 vanilla bean (split & scraped)Ī post shared by Ben Keough those eight hours had elapsed, I brought the fermenter inside and pitched the slurry from my 750mL starter of White Labs WLP066 London Fog.Spices added 5 mins: 2 green cardamom pods (crushed), 1.5 tsp.Water: 4 gallons distilled/RO + 1mL lactic acid + 2.5g each CaCl2 & Gypsum.Yeast: White Labs WLP066 London Fog (750mL starter).Efficiency: 80% pre-boil 74% brewhouse.Method: BIAB, no sparge, strong squeeze. ![]() Not only does it have that lovely parallelism, but the light and bright nature of the base beer should allow the spices to shine through more clearly-both figuratively and literally, when it comes to the incredibly vibrant turmeric. ![]() At first, I thought about adding the spices to a porter or stout, but eventually I came around to the idea of a golden milk golden ale. ![]() For what it’s worth, haldi doodh literally just means “turmeric milk,” so there’s lots of room for riffing.Īfter giving it some thought, I decided golden milk could probably make a pretty good beer. “Authenticity” is very much up for debate when it comes to haldi doodh, but what I’ve found is that most of the recipes from non-whiteys (aka people who are actually from India or who have roots there) include turmeric, green cardamom pods, cinnamon, black pepper, and ginger. My usual oatmeal preparation included turmeric powder, cinnamon powder, ginger powder, cayenne, and black pepper. Recipes for golden milk vary dramatically, at least in the US.
