Extract brewers will enjoy this take on 80 Schilling Ale. It was designed using a blend of Briess CBW® brewer’s grade malt extracts with a touch of Briess Black Barley so the finished beer exhibits a discernible malty character and dry finish. Black Barley isn’t malted, just roasted. So it’s quite different than Black Malt. This recipe is on a tear-out recipe card inside the March-April issue of Brew Your Own magazine. For a printer-friendly version visit the Briess Recipe Database.
If you’re wondering, CBW stands for “Concentrated Brewers Wort”. That’s what these malt extracts are—concentrates of brewers wort. CBWs are produced in a 500-barrel, brewhouse (third largest in Wisconsin), then gently vacuum evaporated to maintain their flavor and lessen color development. We use a multiple step infusion brewing process for high fermentability and FAN, which is critical for brewing.
