How to Brew Ancient Egyptian Beer

Today we talk about Egyptian beer. I’m an Egyptologist, not expert on brewing, so if I mess up some of the concepts of beer brewing (I’m pretty sure I did), please don’t hold it against me. However, in this video, you will find out why the Egyptians drank beer and how they brewed it. Here is the recipe I used: 2c malted barley (or 8 Egyptian barley offering loaves) 1/4c wheat flour 4L water 1 tsp cumin seed 1/8 tsp each of coriander, cassia (cinnamon can be used as a substitute), and rosemary. 3 cardamon pods 2c dates, palm sugar, or brown sugar (optional) 1/2 tsp vinegar 1 tsp baker’s yeast (I use Fleischmann's Active Dry) 1. Make Egyptian offering loaves. -Mix barley and flour with just enough water to hold it all together. -Form into small loafs and bake at 100C for 20 min. If your oven runs hot, use a lower temp to prevent denaturing the diastatic enzymes. -Make the appropriate offerings, and break up the loaves. 2. Sanitize all equipment thoroughly. -This is very important because this is beer. 3. Heat some dechlorinated water to 55C -Break apart loaves into small pieces, and add to hot water -Cook at 55C for 45 min. -Check for starch conversion with a hydrometer. -Raise temp to 68C and hold for 1 hour. -Strain out all the spent grain. Splarge the spent grain with water. -If specific gravity is too low, add dates/palm/sugar to raise the gravity. 4. Add spices and boil -Boil for 15 min. -Place all the spices into a tea ball, add ball to wort. -Boil for 15 min. -Remove spice ball. -Add vinegar to the wort. 5. Bottle into two 2L (sanitized) soda bottles. -Add a 1/2 tsp dry yeast to each soda bottle. -When wort has cooled to 26C, fill each bottle. But leave a few inches of head space at the top of each bottle. The yeast will foam up and overflow the bottles otherwise. -Shake the bottles to get as much oxygen into the wort as possible. -Cap with an airlock. 6. Ferment until done. -This is a fast brewing beer, so expect it to complete in under a week. -While this beer is meant to be drunk without carbonation, feel free to bottle and carbonate as it improves the flavor.
