nice, Ive never had Lager Malt but I love all of the rest, good luck
You don't mention your intended hop schedule, but you've got a lot going on there and quite a volume of hops. That's enough for a lot of IPAs. Any one of those alone split between 60 minutes and 5 minutes boil time will give you sufficient IBUs for a typical lager. I'd avoid using all of them together and keep it simple. You could either choose one and split it or choose 2 and use half of each.3kg Golden Promise Malt
3kg Lager Malt
50g Cluster
50g Fuggles
50g Hallertau Hersbrucker
50g Saaz
London Ale III

Cluster and Saaz is a favorite combo of mine with part of the Cluster for the bitter and the Saaz and remaining Cluster for flavor and aroma at around 10 minutes. Very classic American Pilsner hop profile.
Fuggles alone would be the go-to for an English lager and you could mix that with some Hallertau or use Hallertau alone for a more classic German noble hoppiness.
One way or another, you've got the makings of a very nice beer!![]()
I think in 1800s it was somewhat common, it seems to me it depended on type of beer and brewery and over the years boil time reduced. Also the price of coal would impact boil times, as shortages in wartime. I won't be boiling for 3 hours thoughQuestion from a new brewer....was it common with that long boil time? 3 hours?
