Notes: Based on Mount Brewing's NZ Pilsner -

OG 1.051
FG 1.012
45 IBU

Malt bill
45% German pilsner
45% Pilsner or lager light
7 to 10% wheat malt

Mash
2 1/2 to 1 ratio of sulfur to calcium chloride similar to IPA
Single infusion for 50 minutes at 67 degrees Celcius

Hops
FWH Pacific Jade
10 minute boil 3g/L Motueka, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin
83° c whirlpool for 10 minutes 5/6 g/L Motueka, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin and let stand for another 10 minutes

6/7 g/L Dry hopping Motueka, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin

Dry Hopping and whirlpool hop ratios are 60% Motueka 20% Riwaka and 20% Nelson Sauvin

Motueka is the hero hop. The other 2 are supporting hops.

Fermentation
Lager Yeast
Transfer to fermenter at 22C
Cool to 17C and pitch yeast
Allow yeast to grow for 24 hours
Then Cool to 12C to encourage slow fermentation and reduce phenols
After a further 24 hours raise temp back to 17C and leave to ferment until you reach terminal gravity of 1.012

Ensure terminal gravity is stable for 2 further days

Check PH – 4.2/4.3 – higher PH means the beer is too malty/soapy – not bright/sharp enough

Then cool to 12C and then start dropping yeast over the next 2 days.

Then add dry hops and bubble with 15PSI CO2 for 10 to 15 minutes

Leave for another 24 hours, then bubble again with CO2

Cold Crash under 20 PSI pressure to 1C

The next day start dumping hops

Then lager for 10 to 12 days at 20 PSI pressure and 1C

Notes: Silver in River Valley 2022 Competition 22/05/2022

* Fresh is best - We highly recommend using this kit promptly to obtain the best flavor from your beer. Ensure
you use sanitary practices to prevent any accidental contamination. Typical fermentation is completed in 10
days.
1. Chill wort to target fermentation temp (68°-72°F/20 ̊-22 ̊C), place in temp controlled environment, attach
insulated temp probe to side of fermentor (or in a thermowell if you have one), and pitch your yeast.
2. Two days after fermentation activity starts, remove the probe so it measures ambient then bump regulator to
75°F/24 ̊C.
3. After 2-5 more days, once FG is stable (e.g. no fermentation activity / bubbles in your airlock) and the sample
is free of off-flavors (a forced diacetyl test can verify this), drop the temperature to 50°F/10 ̊C.
*If diacetyl persists, increase temperature slowly. The Philly Sour yeast is able to handle up to 86°F/30 ̊C if
needed.
4. Add finings if desired (e.g. 1/2 tsp gelatine dissolved in pre-boiled water). Cold crash the beer to 30-32°F/0 ̊C.
5. 24-48 hours later, package the beer.

15.3.17
Malt bill mix of #1 and #4 (4% Carafa II and 10% Brown). Rest of recipe the same as #1-#4.
Initial Mash Ph = 6.5 (optimal 5.2-5.5)
30min/final Mash Ph = 5.8 (still too high)
Preboil gravity = 12.8P (slightly higher than #1-#4)
Original gravity = 14.5P (higher than #1-#4)

20.3.17
Ph 4.27, temp 19.5°C

--- P4#4
Now we're changing up the malt bill quite a bit; No cara malt and using 50% brownmalt together with 50% pale ale malt. The rest is identical and aiming for similar degrees of plato; 13°P. Expected color is very dark since we're using 50% of the roasted malt, however it is very lightly roasted, only about 65 Lovibond (Carafa ~400 and Chocolate ~300).

Mash Ph = 6.0 (higher than optimal 5.2-5.5)
Gravity preboil 11.5°P (lower than #1 - #3)
Gravity post boil 13.5°P
Post boil volume 18.5L
Final volume in fermenter 16L
Final gravity 3.7P (after 7 days, higher than #1-#3)
Final pH 4.34

-- P4#3
Same recipe as P4#1 with BEST Chocolate instead of Carafa II
BEST Chocolate grined finer than rest
Firstwort hopping. New package of Columbus opened, different from #1 and #2. 9g old (16.3% alpha), 6g new (14.1% alpha)
Removed 0.5L in the beginning of boil for yeast hydration. Maybe some hops were also removed.
Preboil: 12.4P (slightly higher than #1 and #2)
Beer appears dark brown. Nice color.
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P (1 package, 11g)
Postboil: 14.2P (higher than #1 and #2)
Final Ph before fermentation about 5.2
Final volume in fermenter 15.5L
Final gravity 2-2.5°P.

-- P4#2
Same recipe as P4#1 with Carafa III Special instead of Carafa II
Garafa III grined finer than rest
Firstwort hopping (removed 0.5L before boil for yeast dehydration. Removing during boil means removing some hops. Wort was boiled separately).
Preboil: 21.5l 12ºP
Beer apears almost black. Darker than #1. More than expected
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P (1 package, 11g)
Postboil: 18.5lit. 13ºP
Final volume in fermenter 16L

-- P4 #1
Carafa II grind finer than CaraMunich & Pale Ale.
Firstwort hopping
Preboil: 22lit. 12ºP
Beer appears to be darker than recipe.
Postboil: 19lit. 13ºP
Bitterness: slightly above average (3.5/5bitterness)
Color: Dark, almost black
Underpitched with dry yeast: 0.45M/ml/P
Final Gravity: about 2.5ºP (picture) -> 5.7%
End of fermentation: Very light in aroma and a smooth bitterness (3/5biterness)

Notes: 1-2 days before brew day: Yeast start er (optional, but recommended)

Pitch Wyeast into a starter. A wine bottle or 22 oz beer bottle fitted with an airlock and #2 stopper works perfect. Use 1/4 cup malt extract in 8 oz of water for a starter wort. Boil 5 minutes, cool and pitch yeast.

Brew day:

Put your volume of water on to boil, usually 2-2.5 gallons, unless you have a wort cooling device. When water temperature reaches 150, add the adjunct malt grains in grain steeping bag. Hold temperature at 150-160 for 30 minutes. Stir the grains occasionally. After 30 minutes resume heat. When temperature reaches 170 remove or strain the grain out. Now add the extract.

You can let some hot water mix with the extract to help loosen it up and pour smoothly. Proceed on to full boil, and stir to prevent the extract from scorching on the bottom of the pot.

At full boil, 60 minute countdown:

At full boil, add the 2 oz of bittering hops and gypsum, and begin an hour countdown. As always, stir occasionally.

At 10 minutes:Add the 1 oz of hops.

At 5 mins:Add the 1 oz of hops

At 0 mins:Add the 1 oz of finishing hops

End of boil:

Shut off heat and begin to cool your wort as soon as possible. When wort is about 75 degrees, or when wort is cool enough to mix with water to reach about 75 degrees, pour and strain the wort into your primary fermenter. When pouring the wort into the primary, aerate as much as possible. You can accomplish this by dipping a sanitized container, such as a measuring cup into the wort and pouring back into the wort. Create as much foam and bubbles as you can for about ten minutes. Double check your temperature to be sure it is not above 80 degrees and take a hydrometer reading. Now pitch the contents of the yeast pack into the primary fermenter, cover, set-up the sanitized airlock and stopper assembly, and place the primary where it will remain around 68 degrees during fermentation.

Next 4 days:Your fermentation should begin after about 12 hours. From then on fermentation will peak then subside. After high krausen, you may opt to rack to glass secondary carboy.

Next 3 days: After 5 and 6 days take hydrometer readings. If no perceptible change in gravity occurs, you are ready to bottle. If the gravity keeps reducing, wait. If you are unsure wait one more day.

Bottling day: Be especially careful about sanitizing and racking at this stage! Thoroughly clean and sanitize bottles and caps. Preheat 3/4 cup corn sugar (dextrose) in a saucepan with 3-4 cup of water and bring to a quick boil. Carefully rack beer to a bottling bucket and swirl in corn sugar mixture. Be careful not to slosh around the beer, you don’t want to oxidize.

Bottle and cap. Store at room temperate to ensure good bottle fermentation.

10 days after bottling: Sample a beer. Be patient, you can try a bottle after about a week, but most beers, especially hoppy medium and high gravity beers, benefit from some aging. Enjoy!

Tips and fine-tuning:

-Try to boil and cool the largest possible volume you can manage.

-Varying the fermentation temperature will result in different flavors. Fermenting warm (up to 72 degrees)

will produce fruity, estery qualities. An LCD stick-on thermometer will allow you to monitor fermentation temperatures.

-Always be sure to sanitize every piece of brewing equipment, after you are finished with the boil. A 5 gallon utility bucket half filled with an iodine based “no rinse” sanitizer is convenient for this.

-Secondary fermentation in glass is recommended.

-If you boil a full wort volume, your hop efficiency will improve.
