Crafting a truly authentic coconut beer requires meticulous attention to adjunct preparation and precise timing. My method, refined over two decades, leverages fresh Kerala coconut shavings, lightly toasted, and introduced post-fermentation. This approach preserves delicate aromatics and imparts a creamy …
The monsoon season in Kerala significantly alters local water chemistry, primarily by diluting mineral concentrations and increasing dissolved oxygen. This dilution typically leads to a decrease in overall alkalinity and hardness, consequently raising the raw water’s pH. For brewing, this …
Brewing with Manjeera water in Hyderabad requires careful mineral adjustment to mitigate its high residual alkalinity and moderate hardness. My experience shows that dechlorinating, acidifying to reduce bicarbonates, and then adding precise amounts of Gypsum and Calcium Chloride is crucial …
For maintaining beer freshness, a 5L mini keg with a CO2 dispensing system significantly outperforms a 2L growler, preventing oxidation and preserving carbonation for weeks, not just hours. While growlers offer immediate portability for a single serving, mini kegs provide …
