Step by Step
The traditional Pilsner Urquell utilizes an undermodified Pilsner malt that is malted by the brewery. The mash is subsequently triple decocted to help break down the protein matrix that is still present in the undermodified malts. For three reasons we have decided to change up the classic recipe. First homebrewers don’t often have access to undermodified Pilsner malts these days. Second, a triple decoction means a long and rigorous brew day for the brewer. Finally adding in a protein rest could be detrimental to the beer’s body and head retention. So we’ve simplified the mash procedure and added some malts to help adjust the color and add a slight toasted character that the triple decoction should otherwise add to the beer’s profile.

Mash grains with 15 qts. (14.2 L) soft water at 142 °F (61 °C) and hold for 30 minutes. Perform a decoction, pull 1/3 thick portion of the mash (~1.5 gallons/5.7 L) and bringing to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes being sure not to scorch the grain mix. Stir the decocted portion back into the main mash.

The main mash should now settle at 155 °F (68 °C). Hold for a 30 minute rest.

Mash out, vorlauf, and then sparge at 170 °F (77 °C) to collect enough wort to result in 5 gallons (19 L) after a 90-minute boil. Boil 90 minutes, adding hops at times indicated. Cool, aerate, and pitch yeast.

Ferment at 50 °F (10 °C) until signs of fermentation have slowed considerably. Some diacetyl is noted in Pilsner Urqell, but if there is a strong diacetyl presence at this point, 2-4 days at 65 °F (18 °C) is advised. Rack to secondary and lager for 4-6 weeks at 40 °F (4 °C). After lagering is complete, bottle or keg as usual.

Notes: Heated water to 170 - 4.0 gallons went into the cooler and went down 5 degrees as expected. Added 13lbs of grain and temp readings showed readings from 144 to 157. Added more hot water because it was a thick mash and my temp was too low. Probably 5gallons. Generally leveled out at around 146-150. Would have preferred to have it at the 150-154 range and an opportunity to do more stirring down.

40 minutes into mash - stirred. Temps still ranging from 146-150. Exactly what I was hoping for.

Mashed for 70 minutes this time as well.

First run: 3.3 gallons
Second run 4.7 gallons

SG: 1.044 (11 brix) -- 75.54%
After 2 days, fermentation stopped for the most part

7 days later:

Notes: Infusion mashed at 152 and/or 154. The electric said 152 at the top. Figured since it is a colder day that it would drop down a bit. Efficiency was 4% lower than expected. I am figuring the yeast might make up for it and attenuate a little more than 75%.

Notes: This recipe is Vienna Lager style but boosted a little bit in IBU to counter balance the malty side.

Adapt the mash volume with the dead volume of your tun.
I use a Klarstein 50L brewing machine which has 6.5L of dead volume under the tun basket => take it in account for the mash thickness :
Strike water volume at mash thickness of 3 L/kg * 5.15kg + 7L = 22.5L (new mash thickness = 3.7L/kg)

Sparge water = 9.2L
Total water = 31.7L
Lost water (mash)= 3.6L
Lost by evaporation = 4L
Lost in the kettle = 2L
To go in the fermentor = 22.1L

Fermentation at 13°C during 2weeks min.

Notes: FERMENT RELATIVELY COOL (60-62). THIS IMITATES A MEXICAN LAGER TYPE BEER WHICH WON'T HAPPEN AT WARMER TEMPS.

USE 3 PACKS OF 05 YEAST IF POSSIBLE FOR A FAST START.

CIRCULATE MASH AFTER 30 MINUTES OF STATIC REST.

DRAIN AND SPARGE VERY SLOWLY (SHOULD TAKE 1 HOUR) - THIS WILL GIVE BEST EFFICIENCY AND HIGHEST GRAVITY.
