Notes: 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: Once primary fermentation completes, give 1-2 day diacetyl rest. During this time, chop up a whole seedless watermelon into cubes and freeze for 1-2 days. This will pasteurize the watermelon. Defrost and beat watermelon to a chunky pulp. Pour into primary or place in bottom of secondary and rack beer on top, then cold crash for 1-2 days. My spigot clogged on me with watermelon chunks so I had to use a racking cane to the keg. Package, carbonate, and serve! |

Notes: This is a kettle soured recipe. You will mash the grains, cool and pitch the berliner weisse blend. This has lactobacillus which will quickly sour your beer. When the pH reaches 3.4-3.6 (around 48 hours), boil the wort and add hops as usual. When this is finished, chill and repitch with the European ale yeast. Keep in mind, the point of the first pitch is not to fully attenuate the beer, it is simply to reach your target pH.
When you are finished TRIPLE your amount of cleaning and sterilization. THIS IS KEY. Unless, you want your next beer to be a sour also. The boil helps, but is not fool-proof.
Additional note: This recipe is designed for use with a 8 gal MLT & kettle and requires a top off into the fermenter. If you have a 10+ gal vessel, increase your sparge water amount to 3.5 gal and the boil volume to 6 gal. |

Notes: Pecan Pieces were roasted on the stove top, stirring frequently, stopped, blotted with a paper towel trying to soak up any residual oils, then toasted again, and blotted again.
Water for the coffee was boiled, covered with sanitized aluminium foil, and chilled. 2 - 1 ounce HEB "Texas Pecan Coffee" was added to a 64 ounce sanitized container and water added, then refrigerated overnight. The cold brewed coffee was strained and added at kegging.
This beer won a Pro-Am with Operation Fermentation, (Cane Island Alers) in 2017. This beer was later brewed with No Label Brewing. |
