Joseliner Tamav\u00e9<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Se acerca el concurso anual 2019 de la Asociaci\u00f3n de cerveceros caseros<\/a>. Este a\u00f1o se celebra en Bilbao y el estilo estrella es la Czech lager. El a\u00f1o pasado se celebr\u00f3 en Cadiz y obtuve una medalla de bronce en la categor\u00eda de Ales con mi Joseliner Saison. Hay que revalidar el t\u00edtulo o mejorarlo as\u00ed que… \u00a1manos a la obra!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siempre me gusta andar por senderos poco transitados y como se que todo el mundo va a elegir un clon de la Pilsener Urquell<\/a> yo me voy a decantar por una versi\u00f3n oscura de una Czech Lager, es decir, una tmav\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seg\u00fan el BJCP 2015 podr\u00edamos describir la Tmav\u00e9 como:<\/p>\n\n\n\n


A rich, dark, malty Czech lager with a roast character that can vary from almost absent to quite prominent. Malty with an interesting and complex flavor profile, with variable levels of hopping providing a range of possible interpretations. <\/p>https:\/\/www.bjcp.org\/docs\/2015_Guidelines_Beer.pdf<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

La verdad es que esta definici\u00f3n deja mucho margen de interpretaci\u00f3n. Habr\u00e1 que pensar como un cervecero realista y simplificar lo m\u00e1ximo e intentar encajarla entre otros estilos encontrando las diferencias. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


The beer is the Czech equivalent of a dark lager ranging in character from Munich Dunkel to Schwarzbier, but typically with greater malt richness and hop character (aroma, flavor, and\/or bitterness). <\/p>https:\/\/www.bjcp.org\/docs\/2015_Guidelines_Beer.pdf<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the entry-level description is, think of a Czech pilsner versus a German pils. Now think of a schwarzbier,\u201d Tonsmeire says. \u201cTmav\u00e9 pivo is like the Czech version of German schwarzbier. It\u2019s a little rounder, a little maltier, a little smoother, maybe, with a little more body.\u201d<\/p>https:\/\/vinepair.com\/articles\/czech-beer-dark-lager\/<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

En resumen y de forma simple es una cerveza lager oscura con sustancia tanto en malta como en l\u00fapulo. Dejamos a un lado la neutralidad y ligereza de otras lager para dar mas mordida, mas misterio. Promete…. !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

en Beer & Brewing su aproximaci\u00f3n es:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with most of the Czech lager recipes you’ll run across, this one benefits from using a good floor-malted Pilsner as its base. If you can’t get fresh malt, though, you may want to improvise: fresh Maris Otter is better than stale floor-malted Pils, and if that’s your best choice you can augment your light-malt complexity with some Vienna or Munich and maybe some Crystal 10L. But assuming you have access to a homebrew shop with good pull-through, you can trust that the fresh floor-malted Pils <\/strong>will give you lots of complexity without the tinkering and trial-and-error: start with six pounds<\/strong> here. To that we’ll add one pound each of Victory malt and Caramunich malt<\/strong>, which will really ramp up the rich, toasty flavors in the beer. Last, add three-quarters of a pound of pale chocolate malt<\/strong>: it will impart lots of light coffee and chocolate notes with a hint of burnt husk. If you’re really committed to a very dark version – and if you’ll be entering this in competition, I might recommend it – you can adjust color with some midnight wheat or Carafa Special III<\/strong>. Otherwise, leave it be; it should end up a nice medium-brown with ruby highlights.
Hopping is pretty easy: two ounces of Saaz, one at 60 minutes or first-wort hopping, and one at 20 minutes remaining<\/strong>. That should give you about 25 IBUs<\/strong>, but if it’s a low-alpha-acid percentage harvest year, just adjust your initial addition upwards to get there.
And it’s back to the regionally-appropriate Wyeast 2124 Bohemian Pilsner yeast, here. I don’t always recommend the regional yeast-of-choice, but sometimes it’s just the best call – most of the Czech lagers fall into that category.<\/p>https:\/\/beerandbrewing.com\/make-your-best-czech-dark-lager\/<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ivan Chramosil probably knows more about tmav\u00e9 pivo than anyone on this planet, having served as the brewmaster at U Flek\u016f for over 44 years before finally \u201cretiring\u201d in early 2016. He now consults at different breweries, including U Supa<\/a>, in Prague\u2019s historic Old Town.
When I stop by U Supa to ask Chramosil for a basic tmav\u00e9 pivo recipe, he spells out the answer like it should be obvious: about 50 percent Pilsner malt, between 30 and 40 percent Munich malt, up to 15 percent of a caramel malt like CaraMunich, and at most 5 percent of a very dark malt like Weyermann\u2019s Carafa II Special. That last percentage of dark malt, he notes, can also include a small portion of something like Weyermann\u2019s CaraAroma, though he warns about overdoing things.
\u201cYou have to be very careful with the roasted malt,\u201d Chramosil says. \u201cIt should affect the color, but not really the taste.\u201d
In terms of bitterness, Chramosil suggests around 25 IBUs for the most common tmav\u00e9 pivo with around 5 percent alcohol, and he specifically recommends Czech Saaz hops. (A typical tmav\u00e9 can have as little as 3.8 percent ABV, and up to 6 percent or so in what the Czechs call \u201cspeci\u00e1l\u201d beer.)<\/p>https:\/\/vinepair.com\/articles\/czech-beer-dark-lager\/<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Mas o menos ya vamos teniendo claro de que va el estilo: pilsen, algo de light crystal y carafa para el color. Sobre los lupulos sin duda tenemos a saaz como protagonista. Pero ahora viene lo peor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just as important as the ingredients, Chramosil says, is the process.
\u201cThe fullness and the drinkability of Czech tmav\u00e9 pivo is done by decoction mashing,\u201d he says. \u201cThis should not be an infusion mash. It really has to be a decoction mash.\u201d<\/p>https:\/\/vinepair.com\/articles\/czech-beer-dark-lager\/<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

La decoci\u00f3n es obligatoria para conseguir un producto redondo. No vale infusi\u00f3n simple…. Pues la hemos liado ya que de momento no tengo espacio ni tiempo para abordar la deccocci\u00f3n que en resumidas cuentas es:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

removing about a third of the mash to a different kettle, raising it to the boiling point, holding it there for 20 minutes or so, and then returning it back to the main mash<\/p>https:\/\/vinepair.com\/articles\/czech-beer-dark-lager\/<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Y… \u00bfQu\u00e9 hacemos?… \u00bfC\u00f3mo obtener un simil del sabor de la decocci\u00f3n sin hacer una decocci\u00f3n?… Vamos a investigar un poco en Internet<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So what do we get out of decoction mashes? We get some color. We get a bit more clarity in the finished beer. Both are negligible in terms of their contribution to the beer.<\/p>

More importantly, we get melanoidins. Boiling the base grains in a decoction tends to produce these rich-tasting compounds, but instead of using a decoction mash we can tune the recipe and use particular specialty malts (including, as you might guess, melanoidin malt) to get some of that same melanoidin character in our beer. Now, it is important to note that every decoction will produce different levels of these flavors based on the process and the equipment, but most studies agree that at least some<\/em> melanoidin production occurs. In light of that, I would strongly urge you to add such malts sparingly, even in darker decoction-mimicking beers (such as Dopplebock). While some recipes call for 4, 5, or even 10 percent melanoidin malt, I usually recommend 2 percent. It\u2019s enough to provide for a small boost in the rich toast background flavor without overwhelming the other subtle flavors in your beer.
You might also consider not only melanoidin malt in your recipe, but other lighter-kilned character malts such as Victory (toasted) malt, aromatic malt, or even amber malt (all in the 20\u201330L range). Each, through its own production process, carries through to the beer a touch more of the melanoidin characters that decoction mashing can provide. While there are no guarantees that you\u2019ll clone a decoction-produced beer (many note that decoction mashing can result in only limited melanoidin production, depending on boil intensity, process, and duration), these character malts are certainly not going to hurt your beer. Experiment with them until you find one you like, but be prepared to change things up for different recipes! <\/p>https:\/\/beerandbrewing.com\/how-to-get-decoction-results-without-actually-doing-a-decoction-mash\/<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Desde el punto historico del estilo imagino que el cervecero checo de siempre no tenia a su alcance todo el rango de maltas que tenemos ahora y esto es como una supercamara fotografica digital: disponer de tantas posibilidades tambien puede ser la causa de hacer una mala foto o en este caso hacer una cerveza masticable y empachosa fuera de estilo. En resumen: no abusemos y mantengamos la receta simple y muy bebible.
