Preparation

Step 1

Measure out the water required for mashing and sparging. Toss in the juniper twigs and bring to a boil, boil for 5 minutes. Remove twigs and use for mash and sparge water. Single infusion mash at 151 °F (66 °C).

"The most important, and maybe the hardest part is the juniper. There are 50 different sorts of juniper. The Nordic version is called Juniperus communis L. For brewing you have to take the female juniper, the one with berries. The rest of the recipe can vary. You could take your own homegrown hops if you want. We think you should use the Gotland smoked malt (Gotland smoked malt is smoked with birch). You can also use honey and oats."
