Has anyone brewed Keptinis beer?

I would like to try my hand at brewing Keptinis (I've read Lar's blog). I would like a recipe geared towards modern homebrewers and I'm most interested in the baking part and how to do that in a standard oven or grill. I think the rest I can figure out with my setup. Thanks!

Recipe that I came up with that I will be brewing after my current one.

100% 2 row pale malt

34 IBUs using noble hops, bittering only

SG 1.060

FG unknown, due to caramelization of sugars during baking.

Yeast - any neutrel yeast, but a Saison yeast would be interesting.

Procedure

  1. Mash, medium to light body
  2. Bake in large baking dishes with high lip, sorta like lasagna dish. 450F till dark brown my guess is 3 hours, let cool in oven.
  3. Sparge baked mash till desired volume and gravity
  4. make Hop Tea, then add to FV

Take 120g bitter hops (14% alpha acid) and 50g aroma hops (5-6% alpha) and boil them for 30 minutes in 2 liters of water. There was no very clear aroma of hops in the beer, so some noble hop will probably work best. Blockquote

I would scale this down and use 1L of tea, and calculate for 34 IBUs

  1. Ferment as normal.

I will update this in a few weeks when I finalize the process.

FYI this is a no boil beer.
