Then strain out and sparge hops and direct the hot wort into a sanitized fermenter to which 2.5 gallons (9.5 l) of cold water has been added. Bring the total volume to 5 gallons (19 l) with additional cold water if necessary. Aerate the wort very well.
Pitch the yeast when temperature of wort is about 70 degrees F (21 C). Ferment at about 70 degrees F (21 C) for about 1 week, or until fermentation
shows signs of calm and stopping. Rack from your primary to a secondary fermenter, add
1
/2 oz. (14 g) of crushed coriander seeds and if you have the capability, “cellar” the beer at about 55 degrees F (12.5 C) for about 1 week.
Prime with sugar and bottle or keg when complete.

1 oz.: (28 g) German Hersbrucker-Mittelfrueh hops 4% alpha (4 HBU/112 MBU)â15 minutes boiling
6: 10-to-12-inch boughs/branches of juniper for brewing water
*
4: 10-to-12-inch boughs/branches of juniper for base water and lautering
¼ tsp.: (1 g) powdered Irish moss
1: square centimeter of fresh compressed “caked” bread yeast.
**
¾ cup: (175 ml measure) corn sugar (priming bottles) or 0.33 cups (80 ml) corn sugar for kegging
Boil 4 boughs of juniper branches in 6
1
/2 gallons (25 l) of water for 1 hour. After removing the “spent” branches, use the water for mashing and sparging.
A step infusion mash is employed to mash the grains. Add 8 quarts (7.6 l) of 140-degree F (60 C) juniper water to the crushed grain, stir, stabilize and hold the temperature at 132 degrees F (53 C) for 30 minutes. Add 4 quarts (3.8 l) of boiling juniper water, add heat to bring temperature up to 155 degrees F (68 C) and hold for about 30 minutes. Then raise temperature to 167
degrees F (75 C). Place 2 branches of juniper on the bottom of the lauter vessel and lauter and sparge with 3.5 gallons (13.5 l) of 170-degree F (77 C) juniper water. Collect about 5.5 gallons (21 l) of runoff. Add 60-minute hops and bring to a full and vigorous boil.
The total boil time will be 60 minutes. When 15 minutes remain, add the 15-minute hops. When 10 minutes remain, add the Irish moss. After a total wort boil of 60 minutes, turn off the heat and place the pot (with cover on) in a running cold-water bath for 30 minutes. Continue to chill in the immersion or use other methods to chill your wort. Then strain and sparge the wort into a sanitized fermenter. Bring the total volume to 5 gallons (19 l) with additional cold juniper water if necessary. Aerate the wort very well.
Dissolve the compressed yeast in a small amount of boiled and cooled water. Use a jar and a teaspoon previously sterilized in boiling water to contain and mix the yeast and water. Pitch the yeast when temperature of wort is about 65 degrees F (18 C). Ferment at about 65 degrees F (18 C) for about 1 week, or until fermentation shows signs of calm and stopping. Rack from your primary to a secondary fermenter and if you have the capability, “cellar” the beer at about 55 degrees F (12.5 C) for about 1 week.
