Anyone out there have an all grain recipe that is a clone for Sam Adams Boston Lager?
I've split batches ale and lager same recipe comes out good. Actually I've taken to using that grain ratio in all my pale alesI would also love to know the recipe. Such a great beer (in my opinion). Mine would be a Sam Adams Boston Ale though haha
the recipes online do not taste like the original and yes the decoction is the key, its a lager and the water needs to be balanced low in hardness and it does have a touch of roasted flavor, Vienna isn't a strong flavor at all and you wont notice just a little. I didn't like 60 in this beer, it changes the flavor the wrong direction and no I've never came close to a blind taste test, good luch
this is what I would try, I think it much simpler than thought
FERMENTABLES:
12 lb - American - Pale 2-Row - Toasted (100%)
HOPS:
1 oz - Tettnanger, Type: Pellet, AA: 4.5, Use: Boil for 60 min, IBU: 15.98
2 oz - Hallertau Mittelfruh, Type: Pellet, AA: 3.75, Use: Boil for 15 min, IBU: 13.22
MASH GUIDELINES:
1) Decoction, Temp: 3 stage decoction starting at 100,
2) Sparge, Temp: 168 F, Time: 30 min, Amount: 0 gal
YEAST:
Fermentis / Safale - Saflager - German Lager Yeast W-34/70
Pilsner or 2-row with 10% C-60 and basic lager yeast strain makes a pretty nice Octoberfest-style brew. Not necessarily the same as SA, though.. I didn't like 60 in this beer, it changes the flavor the wrong direction
