 BT - Sahti - A Remnant of Finland's Rustic Past
Probably the most bizarre aroma component in sahti is the juniper resins imparted by the fresh juniper twigs used in the filter bed on the bottom of the lauter tun and often also infused (or decocted) in the hot brewing water hours before brewing (techniques vary depending on the desired strength of the juniper flavor).
Traditional sahti brewing gear consists of an open wooden mash tun, a troughlike wooden lauter tun (called a kuurna), and an upright three- or four-legged wooden fermentor fitted with a spigot for dispensing and serving the ready-fermented sahti at top condition straight from the fermentor.
A quite common practice among those sahti brewers who do not bring their mash to a quick boil at the end of the mashing in the way(s) described earlier is to collect the lautered wort in their kettle and bring the wort to a quick boil before transferring it into the fermentor.

Sahti is a hazy, unfiltered, coppery ale, usually between 6ö9% alcohol, with a buttery to tangy aroma and a winey to spicy palate.
Sahti was generally brewed under the direction of the oldest woman in the house-hold or village, since she had years of experience and knew all the tricks involved in preparing different sahtis for different occasions.
Sahtis are made primarily with malted barley, probably kilned to a color rating somewhere between 10 and 20 ¡L. Sometimes sahti also contained an addition of malted rye, a grain that was apparently first cultivated in Finland in the twelfth century.
