Notes: Brewhouse efficiency was more like 82% vs 75. Coppered up from 20 gallons to 28. Wasted grain. First wort hopping of Magnum occurred when I had 18 gallons in the kettle (I put it in a little late).
This was an experimental pilsner that we decided to ferment under pressure. We were looking to turn this beer as quick as possible and see how fermenting under pressure would turn out.
After KO at 65F and pitching yeast, we set the spunding valve to .8 bar and fermented for 5 days at 65F until FG was hit and spunding valve activity was slowed considerably. Sensory testing showed no off aromas/off flavors and a forced diacetyl test came out clean. I crashed it on day 5. On day six I dumped the cone and biofined it with 50ml. Day 8 I kegged it out and put it on a constant flow of 40 PSI of CO2. On day 9 the pils was sufficiently carbonated.
So how did our 9 day pilsner turn out...well actually pretty freaking good. Would this win at the GABF, the answer is no. But it is a very drinkable/flavorful beer. Customers liked it. And one of the most renowned beer judges in our state was very surprised at the quality. |

Notes: The ideal malt bill will comprise of primarily malted barley kilned to 2 L and a high protein content. Additionally, an optional wheat malt addition can be added. (also at 2 L with high protein content.)
If possible, ensure that malts used were kilned at temperature below 212f (100C).
For brew specifications:
starting pH of 5.2 (better to be lower than higher)
a short rest at 120F for proteases (should cause a slight haze for light scattering in final beer)
Boil at 208F, ensuring to never go above 212F.
a boil time of 40 minutes.
(During this time, yellow compounds should be created at a rate significantly faster than the corresponding decrease in beer lightness value. However, the lightness value will have a larger impact on the goal color. A longer boil will produce more yellow compounds, a shorter boil will preserve beer Lightness)
Boil Length was using a very rough formula:
L = 92 - 7/24*x = lightness
b = 63 + 11/18*x = yellowness
The slopes are roughly estimated color changes from a graph
The intercept is an estimate of the 2 Lovibond starting color values in the CIELAB color parameters.
Yeast Choice:
Yeast options, as indicated above, are strands typically used in various IPA styles. The ideal yeast should have lemon-lime ester formation and high flocculation.
Hop Choice:
