For those of you looking to brew a traditional lambic, I found a "recipe" for Cantillon's Turbid mash. http://bergsman.org/jeremy/
I've converted it from Metric to English and scaled down to a 10 gallon batch.
Malt - 9.5 lbs
Wheat - 5 lbs
|
1.2 gallons |
H2O @ 144F -->It takes 15 to 20 min. to
mix all the grain and H2O.
This results in mash
temperature of 113F.
|
mash held at 113F for
10 min.
|
H2O @ 212F -->In ~6 min. enough H2O (.75 gallons)
is added to bring the
mash to 136F
|
In ~5 min. 0.4 gallons is
transferred to kettle #2 ---------------->|
| 0.4 gallons in kettle #2
H2O @ 212F -->In ~10 min. enough H2O (.75 gallons) is heated. during
is added to bring the the heating it never
mash to 149F reaches 212F
| |
In ~35 min. 1.6 gallons is |
transferred to kettle #2 ---------------->|
| an additional 1.6 gallons
H2O @ 212F -->In ~10 min. enough H2O (1.3 gallons) is added to kettle #2
is added to bring the and the heating of this
mash to 162F kettle continues. it
| never reaches 212F
mash held at 162F for |
20 min. |
| |
+----> first runnings (2 gallons) |
to kettle #1. begin |
heating of this kettle |
for the boil |
|
transfer the contents
of kettle #2 back to
|<-------------------------the mash tun. At this
| time the contents of
the mash is now this kettle has reached 176F
at 167F
|
mash held at 167F for
20 min.
|
recirculate the wort
in the mash tun to
clarify.
|
sparge with 9 gallons of 185F H2O
|
split wort between the
two kettles as it runs off.
kettle #1 will contain 8.67 gallons
total (including the 2 gallons
previously put there) kettle #2
will contain 4.33 gallons total.
|
add 3.75 ounces aged hops to kettle #1
only. heat both kettles to boiling
and allow the volume to be reduced
by nearly 25% to yield a full batch size
of 10 gallons total between the two
kettles. The contents of the two
kettles are blended together before
cooling overnight.

Hi !
Thank you for the downscaling of the Cantillon recipe !
Could you please tell me how did you calculate the volumes of boiling water to add to reach the 149F and 162F steps ?
I'm trying to calculate these volumes with the palmer's equations, but without success.

Thx in advance !
~1.3 gallons of 212 water.
Great write up. I'm curious about the cooling over night part.... Is there any reason not to run the wort through my chiller and then pitch my bugs?
@Chris Zucker
this recipes is used for spontaneous fermentation where the wild bugs are picked up while cooling in a coolship, using a chiller and then pitching bugs would work fine also.
It says you collect 2 gallons of first runnings for kettle 1. My calcs show that there is only 2 gallons of liquid in the mash tun at that point. Wouldn't quite a bit of that 2 gallons be absorbed by the grains?
I am missing the point of boiling in two kettles. One is hopped, the other is not. Then they are mixing together. Is this to accommodate a smaller kettle set up? Thanks!
Anyway with help converting this to a 30 gal and 60 gal batch? Im sure it isn't as easy as multiplying by 3 and 6.
any advice is appreciative!
THANKS!
