Notes: 1. Pour 3 gallons of spring water into a clean pot and begin heating. Add the grain to one of the muslin bags and tie a secure knot at the very top so water can move freely throughout it. Once the water reaches 165-170F, turn the heat off and gently stir in the steeping grain. Cover the pot tightly and let everything soak for 15 minutes. Finally, remove the bag, let it drain well and discard it. Add water as needed to make up the 3 gallons.
2. Bring this weak wort to a moderate but rolling boil, add the Burton Water Salts and pre-measured bittering hops, and set a timer for 45 minutes.
3. After this first time interval is done, remove the pot completely from the burner and add all of the dry malt extract. Stir until everything is dissolved, making sure no malt clings to the bottom of the brew pot to avoid scorching. Return the pot to the burner and bring the wort back up to boiling. Be careful to watch for boil-overs.
4. Once the boil is steady, set the timer for 15 more minutes. Now add all of the flavor hops, and Irish Moss, and yeast nutrient if you are using them.
5. After this second time interval is done, turn off the heat, stir in all of the aroma hops and immediately start cooling the wort to about 80F.
6. Now pour the cooled wort into your fermenter and add enough pre-chilled water to make up the 5 gallon batch. It's recommended to refrigerate 3 gallons of water the night before to help cool the wort to the proper yeast pitching temperature.
7. Stir vigorously to uniformly mix ingredients and introduce air. Verify the wort temperature is about 70F, add the yeast and stir again. Move the fermenter to an area that will remain 70F or so throughout fermentation. Ferment for 7-10 days until FG is reached and the beer is clear. After fermentation is done, add the dry hops and condition for another 7-10 days.
8. If bottling, rack the beer, prime with corn sugar and bottle. Store at room temperature for 4 weeks and then try one.
Hop Notes:
15.84 Bittering Units Galena pellet hops
- Divide 15.84 by the Alpha Acid value on the bittering hop package to determine the weight you will need. Example: 15.84 BU / 13.2 AA = approximately 1.2 oz hops. |

YEAST Options
BSI Augustiner, White Labs WLP860 Munich Helles Lager, Wyeast 2352 Munich Lager II, Imperial L17 Harvest, or Omega OYL-114 Bayern Lager
DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 150°F (66°C) for 60 minutes. Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, add the whirlpool hops, and allow 30 minutes to steep. Chill to about 48°F (9°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 54°F (12°C) until your gravity has dropped to about 1.020, then raise to 59°F (15°C) for a diacetyl rest. When fermentation is complete and the gravity has stabilized, crash to 32°F (0°C) and lager 3–4 weeks. Package and carbonate to about 2.6 volumes of CO2.
BREWER’S NOTES
Water: We adjusted our local water with gypsum and chalk in the mash and calcium chloride in the mash and boil. Our target water profile: calcium 52.3 ppm, magnesium 1.5 ppm, sodium 10.9 ppm, sulfate 45.6 ppm, chloride 56.3 ppm, bicarbonate 57.8 ppm.
Mash: On our 15-barrel system, mash-in takes 10–15 minutes, and we rest for 10 minutes before we begin recirculation (vorlauf) for 30 minutes. |
