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: Hit OG 1.060. FG is 1.010
Pitched 2 x 5 gallon batches attempting with 2 different yeast
v1.0 = WLP001 California Ale
v2.0 = WLP029 Kolsch
------------------------------
Will add flavor profile after carbonation

v1.0 WLP001
This beer had a pronounced clean yet malty flavor. It was slightly more bitter than the Kolsch yeast batch. I personally liked the flavor of this beer better than the Kolsch.

V2.0 WLP029
This beer is decidedly Belgian tasting. It's a very very good Alt. This version is a sweeter version with the malt being more pronounced. To me, this wasn't the flavor profile I was going for in my Alt, nonetheless a great beer.

Both Beers were ABV 6.56%

Notes: The grain bill is Jamil's, the hops are changed a bit, mostly because I had 8oz of Simcoe in the freezer... I've made this before, it turns out very nice. be careful on your measurement of the chocolate malt, a little goes a long way, and a little more goes too far...

Priming Method: corn sugar

Priming Amount: 4 oz

Creation Date: 9/29/2014 3:58 AM

Notes: 1800 mil starter

dissolve cocoa powder with 5 oz corn sugar
in 1 qt hot water to make syrup.Add syrup
45 minutes into the boil.

2-3 vanilla beans soaked for a week
in rum added to secondary.

This beer finished at 1.020 due to the
unfermentables and high mash temp.
The F.G was 5.0 a bit lower than
expected.Efficiency was way off.

In my 14 years of brewing this is my
personal favorite beer.
Head retention and lacing last to the
bottom of the glass.

Batch #2 finished at 1.015 and shows
in final ABV.This is where I want this
beer to finish,it is more to the style.

Brewhouse efficiency was around 62% in first batch.Batch #2 was 73% which is
about right for my system.

ABV 5.70 nice winter beer with some
alcohol warmth.First batch was thin.
Chewy,nice chocolate-coffee flavors
with a touch of vanilla.

I`ve made 4 batch`s of this and found
that this last batch from 1-2-14 has hit
it`s peak after 4 months.
The longer it ages the better it gets.

Batch 3 and 4 I made this year (2014)
Jan. and April.I`ve got it dialed in
at 5.70 ABV and recipe is solid at 70%
efficiency.If you try this recipe I hope
you have good luck with it.The rum and vanilla beans are what make this standout
for the final taste and richness.I would
recommend to age at least 2 months.

Great Holiday brew - enjoy-

- Cheers -
