Notes: Here is a 5-gallon all-grain clone recipe for Peroni Nastro Azzurro.
Recipe Stats
* Batch Size: 5 Gallons (19 Liters) * Original Gravity (OG): 1.050 – 1.052 * Final Gravity (FG): 1.010 – 1.012 * ABV: ~5.1% * IBU: 24 (Moderate bitterness) * SRM: 3-4 (Pale Straw) * Mash Efficiency: 75%
Ingredients
The Grain Bill
* 8.5 lbs (3.9 kg) Premium Pilsner Malt * Note: If you can find Italian Pilsner malt (like Eraclea), use it. Otherwise, a high-quality German Pilsner malt (Weyermann) works perfectly. * 2.5 lbs (1.1 kg) Flaked Maize (Corn) * Crucial: This provides the distinct "Nastro Azzurro" crispness and lightness. Do not skip this. * 0.5 lbs (225 g) Carapils (Dextrin Malt) * Optional: Strictly for head retention; keeps the foam standing like a proper draft pour.
The Hops
Peroni uses a combination of bittering and noble aroma hops. * 60 Minutes: 0.5 oz (14 g) Magnum [~12% AA] * Target: ~18-20 IBUs. A clean bittering hop. * 15 Minutes: 1.0 oz (28 g) Saaz [~3.5% AA] * Target: ~5 IBUs. Provides that spicy, earthy noble hop flavor. * Flameout (0 Minutes): 0.5 oz (14 g) Saaz or Tettnang * Target: Aroma only.
The Yeast
You need a clean, neutral lager yeast that ferments dry. * Dry Option (Recommended): Fermentis Saflager W-34/70 (2 packets rehydrated). * Liquid Option: White Labs WLP800 (Pilsner Lager) or Wyeast 2007 (Pilsen Lager). Water Profile * Soft water is best. If you use RO water, add a small amount of Calcium Chloride to hit ~50ppm Calcium, but keep sulfates low to avoid harsh bitterness. Brewing Schedule
1. The Mash (Single Infusion): * Mash in at 148°F (64°C) for 60-75 minutes. * Why: The lower temperature activates beta-amylase enzymes, creating highly fermentable sugars. This ensures the beer finishes dry and crisp, not heavy or sweet.
2. The Boil: * Boil for 90 minutes. * Why: Pilsner malts contain DMS precursors (cooked corn flavor). A 90-minute boil drives these off. * Add hops according to the schedule above. * Add Irish Moss or Whirlfloc tablet at 15 minutes left in the boil for clarity.
3. Fermentation: * Chill wort rapidly to 50°F (10°C). * Pitch yeast and ferment at 50°F - 52°F (10°C - 11°C) until gravity drops to roughly 1.016 (about 2/3 done). * Diacetyl Rest: Raise temperature to 62°F (16°C) for 2-3 days to let the yeast clean up butterscotch flavors.
4. Lagering (The "Cold Storage"): * Once fermentation is complete and stable, crash cool to 34°F - 38°F (1°C - 3°C). * Store cold (Lager) for a minimum of 4 weeks. This is vital for the smooth, clean finish typical of Peroni. 5. Packaging: * Carbonate to 2.5 - 2.7 volumes of CO2. |

Notes: Brewed June 29, 2025 - Recipe based off Krennmair "Vienna Lager" Book §6.3 - altered to step Infusion
Bring mash to 70°C (158°F) for 20 min. Raise to 72-75°C (162-167°F) rest for 40 min. Collected 7.5 gal @ 10 Brix (1.040). Boil for 90 min with hop charge, volume dropped to 4 gal collected at 14.5 Brix (1.059). Added 1 gal spring water to drop to 1.047. Chill overnight to 10-12°C (50-54) and ferment with Wyeast Munich 2308. Started off slow as yeast quantity was compromised
August 13 - Kegged and placed in lagering reefer, after 20-ish day diacetyl rest. FG was 1.018. Fermented wort tasted fine despite not having time to properly rest, lager, etc. |
