High gravity breweing for a Czech(-ish American) Light Beer?

[Bulin's Milker Bucket Brews]

In my ongoing effort to brew a light beer that's actually, well, good; I'm goingt to attempt to brew a higher gravity version and just add water to get final gravity down to the proper level, pre fermentation.

Got the strike water heating now...

I do this all the time due to my set up.
I'm happy with it, but I do not have very sophisticated taste buds

Fixed now...changed from Saaz to Cluster while I was at it.

Me too. Much easier to add water if you need less gravity.

Hope it turns out right for you Bulin plenty of room for something to go sideways in that beer.

Efficiency was off today, not a big deal, just added less water. Also pitched in an ounce of Saaz @ 2:30.

Same for me every batch. I do figure in that amount. Also easier in my back when I carry the wort inside

Oh man can't go wrong with Sazz in a Lager that hop is Fing Amazing!

If i were only allowed one hop i think for lagers anyhow it would have to be Sazz!

Atleast you had a backup plan I'll have to try this I was gown on gravity on Friday night and added 400g of cane sugar to bump up my boil gravity on a double batch.

I'm not as dialed in on bigger batches...

I think the problem was the mash was too thick, had my water too hot so I just doughed in and adjusted to 152. I usually do a realatively thin mash(1.5qt/lb) then double batch sparge(add half and drain after about 5 minutes, then repeat). I'm thinking the much thicker(roughly 1:1) mash resulted in less fermentable wort, probably would have helped my cause if I'd let the sparge water rest in the mash a little longer.
