Japanese Rice Lager Homebrew Recipe

  • In this brewing video, we're making a Japanese Rice Lager that is similar to a beer like Asahi and Sapporo. We're brewing this beer outside today in our backyard during a nice summer day, so we start this video off with a "cribs tour" of our backyard. Then, we get right into milling and cooking our rice, which is the essential ingredient in this beer style. We show you the right way to cook rice so you can get the right efficiency from it when you follow this homebrew recipe yourself. The only hops we use in this beer are Sorachi Ace which is the same hop variety that's used in Sapporo beer. These hops have high alpha acids and they gave our beer a nice lemon flavor and aroma. In the middle of the video, there's a funny fight scene that is reminiscent of old kung fu movies and the Street Fighter video game. This homebrew recipe made an excellent Japanese Rice Lager with a low ABV and a light, crisp, and smooth flavor. This is a beer we may keep on tap all the time now in the Clawhammer office. We recommend you brew this beer and take it to a dinner party so you can pair it with sushi, shellfish, pork, and spicy Asian Dishes. Check out the resources below for a full recipe, brewing equipment, and an article about how rice lagers are becoming more popular in America.

    Made this beer and I really liked it... at first. It was clean, crisp, and maybe slightly lemony. Fast forward a few weeks after bottle conditioning was finished and the sorachi ace hop flavor really developed. It took on a flavor similar to dill. Can't say I'll be using sorachi ace ever again! Nevertheless, great video - very entertaining!

    Hi guys, I enjoyed this video very much, I would just recommend rehydrate the yeasts first in water and then put a few drops of wort into it. Then you can pour it into the whole wort. I don't say that it doesn't work the way you did it , but most of the yeasts could have died after sugar stress. Dried yeasts are dehydrated and they need clear water first to build the cells and then little bit of sugar so they can regenerate.

    I had a Fiestbier with 3470 and it was amazing. My question is, is the rice to help break down proteins or gulcose from the grains? I've heard of rice hulls used in Wit beers because of thick mashes.

    • @aric5011
      @aric5011 2 роки тому

      In this case the rice is being used as a grain in the wort to get sugars from, it is a large part of the grain bill. You are correct about rice hulls (not rice ), are used to prevent stuck mash.

  • @qwerty6383
    @qwerty6383 Рік тому

    I didn't see you post OG and FG, but I added ingredients into calculator and it's estimation was that it should be at least 5% ABV (saflager 34/70 has high attenuation). I wonder if boiling the rice makes its sugars into unfermentable, as it would do with malts.

    • @cohibadad
      @cohibadad Рік тому

      Good question about the boiling part. Looks like the other commenters that repeated this had a lot of unfermentables with FG about 1.020. I'm not sure if simply not boiling the rice would be enough, but I'd love to see someone try. I suspect that to make the rice starches fully fermentable requires either Japanese koji mold or amylase enzymes. Their beer was essentially a rice flavored ultralight lager.

    • @yovaalvarado9773
      @yovaalvarado9773 5 місяців тому

      Hey! Yes, actually in my brewer formation course, I was told to “Gelatinize” the Rice with some Crushed malt (up to 20%) at around 68° to 77° Celsius, for at least 20 minutes, in order to complete saccharification, and then to bring to Boil for another 20 minutes, and then you have enough starch in your rice to send to mash with your malts; Sorry for my English 😅
