Drinking a Baltika 4 and it made me think of this thread, though brewed in Russia not Bohemia.

They've spent some time in Bohemia, too.

What is a Baltika 4? Baltika rings a bell because anytime I see a poster or other ad for them, there is usually some Russian hottie in various stages of undress. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

You've probably heard Baltika in the context of Baltic porters but they make other beers too. Baltika 6 is the Baltic porter, Baltika 4 is a dark amber lager.

Making another version of this beer right now. The hops are a little different (Mt. Hood, Hersbrucker, Saaz) but otherwise very similar all fermented with 2278.

I was gonna brew a Polomavé Výcepní Czech session amber today but I pulled a bunch of muscles in my side so I'll have to wait until next wkend. I based mine on 1/2 of the recipe for U Fleku Lezak--dark lager, assuming it would be mixed 50/50 with a Svetlé Výcepní Pivo--session pale.

Here's some good stuff on U Fleku https://www.brewersas...bohemian-dunkel

My recipe:

100% RO water, 3/3g CaCl2 mash/BK
82% Weyermann Floor Malted Bopils
16% Dingeman's Munich
8% caramunich III
1% acid malt
1% Carafa II
24 IBUs of whatever @ 60
1 oz Spalt Select @ 15
1.5 oz Saaz 175F whirlpool

Wyeast 2278

That's supposed to say "Polotmave"

I'd love to try it. Maybe some day a Czech beer tour. For now, when my Polotmave Výcepní finishes I will split the yeast cake on a double brewday and brew U Fleku and Svetlé Výcepní.
