Notes

Recipe Notes:
Tear bread into small pieces and hydrate with warm, filtered water overnite. Dump the bread "goop" into a colander or strainer nested in your boil vessel. Any remaining solids left over will be added to the mash. Alternately, you can puree the bread "goop" with a stick blender and add the entire contents to your boil vessel.
Mash at 150F. A 24 hour mash can be done with this style. Collect mash runnings and sparge until you reach your boil volume. Add hops and bring to a boil. When you reach a boil, shut off the heat and begin chilling. Ferment at 70F using 1/4tsp of red star or fleischmann's bread yeast.
Feel free to experiment with specialty grains, breads, spices or fruit. Sourdough starter can be added at any or all stages for a sour kvass. 100% rye malt can be substituted for 2-row. Have fun!

Re: Primum Kvass
Lee, i'm brewing your recipe this weekend. got the rye bread in the oven now. How did yours turn out?
How long for fermentation?
Final gravity?
Did you secondary, or go straight to keg/bottle?
What is the shelf life? I've read that it is likely to get incredibly sour in a hurry.
Anyone else try this?
