It will certainly work! I've done this with Nottingham ale yeast and have had German relatives rave over my "Pilsner". Eventually I added a some Vienna malt and that became my "Blonde Ale" which became a base recipe for many other beers. However, I wouldn't hesitate to do a Smash with Pilsner malt!Would that work for an ale?
Thinking, blonde or pale ale?
Or would it become too boring?
Thinking of noble hops. No dry hopping...
Sounds like a great plan! I'd be interested to hear the results!I stole a recipe from a Dutch home brew site
100 % Pilsner malt
Hop
Hallertau tradition or Saaz: 60 min - 17 IBU
Spalt select: 15 min - 7 IBU
Spalt select: 05 min - 3 IBU
Yeast
Recipe is for Kolsch, but it was suggested it would work very well with Saison as well. Still got 1/2 pack of M29 French Saison.
Mash schedule
45 min at 65 oC
30 min at 72 oC
I would like to change this to a one-step mash. 1 hour at 67 oC?
ABV
Thinking of aiming for about 5%
Anything I should be doing different?
https://www.brewersfriend.com/forum/threads/what-are-you-drinking-right-now.2751/Y'all might have to excuse me tonight as I have been into the homebrew, but I also became intrigued with the idea of some sort of Pilsner single hop (maybe Cascade or Mosaic) Pale Ale or IPL. Yummm.
