| Notes: This recipe uses reverse osmosis (RO) water. The water salt treatments are minimal; add 5 g calcium chloride (CaCl2) to the mash and 3 g CaCl2 to the sparge water. The acidulated malt is used to reach the desired mash pH; do not omit this ingredient unless you acidify your mash water. Do not add additional water salts to lower the pH; a minerally water character is inappropriate for this style. Two or three days before brew day, make a 2-qt. (2-L) yeast starter, aerating the wort thoroughly (preferably with oxygen) before pitching the yeast. On brew day, mash in at 156 °F (69 °C) in 14 qts. (13 L) of water and hold this temperature until converted, 30 to 45 minutes. Pull a thick decoction of at least half the mash, then boil the decoction until it changes color and consistency, about 25 minutes. Stir the decoction frequently to avoid scorching. Return the decoction to the main mash and hold at 168 °F (76 °C) for mash out. Recirculate until clear, fly sparge with 168 °F (76 °C) water until 6.5 gallons (25 L) of wort is collected. Boil the wort for 90 minutes, adding the hops at times indicated in the recipe. First wort hops are added to the kettle before the wort is run off. After adding the final hops when the heat is turned off, immediately begin chilling the wort. Chill to 43–45 °F (6–7 °C). Chilling to this low temperature may take two cooling stages or the use of an ice bath to reduce the temperature of the cooling water. Oxygenate, then pitch the yeast starter. Allow fermentation temperature to rise to no more than 50 °F (10 °C) until desired final gravity (FG) is achieved. Then rack and slowly chill to lagering temperature. Lager for 4 to 6 weeks at 33 °F (1 °C). Prime and bottle condition, or keg and force carbonate to 2.4 volumes. The original recipe used Best Malz for the base malt, a fully modified malt. If using an undermodified malt (such as Weyermann Floor-Malted Bohemian Pilsner malt), a true double decoction mash schedule can be used as described in the article. If using the Weyermann malt, you can also substitute the Weyermann Carabohemian® malt for the Caravienne. These products are malted specifically for making Czech-style beers. |

Notes: Check water pH before adding acid and salts.
Ferment at 68 F for 4-7 days.
Soft crash to 60, transfer to secondary with dry hops.
Let dry hops sit for 48 hrs.
Add finings and cold crash for 24 hrs.
Transfer to serving keg, pressurize and serve.
IBU is low, but perceived bitterness is higher due to lower ABV beer.
Do not overdo hops. Beer must be balanced between malty crispness and juicy hops. |

**********Current notes************
Next Brew Notes:
- Colour is more Amber than Pale. Use less Crystal Medium next time.
- For Dry Hopping and Hop Stands we probably need to Target Atleast 68-70L with 1.5 Hour Boil to get enough for Two full kegs.
- Mashed out to target 77C, but keep raising the kettle to 83-85C to maintain sparging temp, it always drops.
- Get the mash Temp right and the kettle temp right before Mashing. I think just leaving some head room in the kettle to add cold water would be better. Kettle should sit about 1C above the Mash.
Brew notes:
- PH was spot on. 5.3-4.
3.5L/kg was fine and didn’t need to top up kettle. Probably had about 4 litres left over. 35L+55L in kettle. 90L total water needed.
Boiled down from 75, the original target of 68-70 would have been fine.
Mashed out, but should of raised the kettle to 80-85C to maintain sparging temp, it always drops.
Boiled for 1.2 hours, before adding hops.
Colour is more Amber than Pale. Use less Crystal Medium next time.
_prevouse notrs___
Boiled down to about 58/59 from 65L over 1 hour.
Removed hops and run through chiller. Ended up at 52L. Final amount 47L.
Replace kk thermo
Ph first reading 5.1-2. Needed to add some bicarbonate. 2g to bring it to 5.3.
Mash temp was too high at start 68C
Kegging notes
- add metabusinmate after beer
- need longer line
- extend out sinker
-previous notes-
Empty out boil hops before adding whirlpool hops
Note slightly higher 3L mash to weight ratio.
___PREVIOUS BREW NOTES____
Mash ph was spot on 5.3 first reading. After sparge 5.4.
Mashed 65C
Sparged 77. Did a quicker sparge flow.
Probably needed about 10L additional water on top of the existing 50L liquor tank
Boiled down for 1 hour until we reached 53L boiled an extra 30mins and got down to 43L
3L x grain weight water ratio.
Ferment at 20C Saturday night. Lifted to 24C on Monday afternoon when bubbling was slowing. |
