Notes: Mill the grains and mash at 146°F (63°C) for 35 minutes; raise to 154°F (68°C) for 25 minutes; then raise to 172°F (78°C) and mash out.
Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule.
After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate for 60 seconds to create a vortex, add the whirlpool hops, and rest 10 minutes.
Chill the wort to about 56°F (13°C), aerate, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 56°F (13°C). Once the gravity has dropped to about 1.016–1.020 (4–5°P), attach a spunding valve (if you have one), and allow a temperature rise to 60–65°F (16–18°C) for a diacetyl rest.
Lager for 2–4 weeks with head pressure, aiming for 2.6 volumes of CO2. Serve it unfiltered—enjoy it fresh, with a slight haze.
BREWER’S NOTES
Water: My brewing water has notable calcium chloride and sulfate, and medium hardness, more like Dortmund and less like Munich or Plzeň. This lends the beer a crispness and subtle bitterness that works well with modest hop additions.
Mash: We mash in thin, with a 5:1 water-to-grist ratio. (Alternatively, you can mash in thicker (3:1), then add hot water for the step to 154°F/68°C.) I originally did the thinner mash for a few reasons:
First, I remember from Künze’s Technology of Brewing & Malting that lighter beers can potentially benefit from a thin mash, in the realm of 4:1 or even 5:1. However, you must keep your pH in check—if it gets too high, you risk increasing the beer’s astringency.
The thin mash seems to work well in my brewhouse, and I end up sparging less—which think may help reduce polyphenol extraction and hot-side oxidation. The thinner mash theoretically increases extract efficiency— but sparging lass may decrease extract efficiency, so that may be a wash.
On a small brewhouse, I think the simple increase in thermal mass is a benefit for keeping the temperature higher—around 170°F (77°C)—which lowers the wort’s viscosity and might help with vorlauf and first wort collection. In smaller brewhouses like mine that have dedicated lauter tuns, there’s not a good way to raise the temperature of the mash in the tank—so, if you increase the thermal mass, I think it just helps out. It’s also a lot easier for me to pump thinner mash out of my mash kettle into the lauter tun.
Also, texts such as Brewing: Science and Practice, by Briggs, Boulton, Brookes, and Stevens, suggest that a thinner mash is good for fermentability. The Augustiner strain isn’t necessarily the best at attenuation. I think when brewing a pils with Augustiner yeast, this method may be helpful.
Controlling pH: I just do my best to ensure I’m not adding high-pH water—no higher than about 6.5. So, I also treat my foundation water to ensure an even lower pH that’s similar to the mash pH. For final runnings during wort collection, I try to keep it below 6.0, but I’m generally quite a bit lower than that. My post-boil pH is generally around 5.15 for my pils.
Spunding: If you can, spunding will give you a smooth, naturally carbonated mouthfeel. |

Notes: The grain is Chevallier; a heritage variety, I am going easy on the hops so I can really get a true grain profile. 90/90 Mash Boil. Named after one of the finest true aficionado pubs in Edinburgh. The beer was always perfect and the ensuing pub chat was wonderful!! Again, I tried to get the subtlety of a real new style British pub ale. ....I have realized that these beers are like MG's. Quick to build, fast delivery to the market....not a lot of frills...and low alcohol so more than one or two at the local can be had without adverse effects....and a successful walk back to your flat!! |

Notes: step 1 assemble grains in lautering vessel or chessecloth wrappings for sparging
spargin is the process of soaking grains in hot water like a tea
step2 heat 5 gallons water to 180 fahrenheit in large vessel
step 3 turn off heat once water is at 180 sparge by submergin cheese cloth or lautering vessel in water for 60 minutes with no heat leave lid on
should be 160 after 45 minutes
step 4 add hops last 15 minutesand then
bring to boil on high briefly for a few minutes
step 5 add molasses 1/2cup or to color preference
step 6 make yeast starter using red star cuvee yeast or lavlin ec variants of champagne yeast
starting yeast in an airlocked decanter using some must that has been allowed to cool and 1/3 cup brown sugar and allow to proof
allow must to cool all night in kettle
step 7 after you yeast starter has shownb proof poor yeast starter into must when the must is below 90 degrees fahrenheit and attach airlock.
wait for 17 days
rack off to 2.5 gallon glass party dispenser
add 1/2cup brown sugar to the 2.5 gallons of beer in the dispenser
bottle away
repeat until all beer has been bottled
store at room temperature and wait 30 days before frigding
brewers note: if you are not using one pint flip tops use less sugar this amount of sugar will cause more co2 pressure then a champagne bottle, i do use this amount personally because i know the engineering of my bottles and that they can handle it.
always check to make sure you are using safe amounts of pressure when home priming

Notes: A Bohemian-style Pilsner with rich maltiness, soft bittering, and a hint of black pepper.
Target a mash temperature of 154 deg F and mash for 60 minutes or until conversion is complete. Recirculate 2 gallons of wort (vorlauf) from the bottom to the top of your mash tun to set the grain bed, then sparge with 5 gallons of water at 170 deg F and collect about 7 gallons of runoff to your boil kettle.
Boil for 90 minutes and add the hops and others per the schedule.
At flameout, rapidly chill the wort to 60 deg F and transfer the wort to your fermenter. Pitch the yeast, oxygenate, and set fermenter in a cool dark place to ferment at about 48 deg F (up to 52 deg F is ok). Once fermentation is near completion, raise the temperature to the low 60s to perform a diacetyl rest.
After fermentation has completed, rack the beer into a keg and force carbonate to 2.5 volumes, or prime and bottle condition. Lager at 35 deg F for two weeks to a month.
Serve at 40-45 deg F. |
