Notes: Double Decoction:
*Note: Pilsner Urquell uses a triple decoction method with an initial acid rest, but I use well enough modified malts and correct for pH already so the first of three decoctions is unnecessary. The decoction measurements below are ones I developed for an electric system and err on the side of caution, so they are the lower amounts needed to potentially reach the next temperature step and direct heat can be applied to compensate.*
Perform a protein rest at 125F for 15min, then pull off slightly less than 1/3 (1.16gal/4.4L) of the thickest mash and place it in a separate pot. Bring the pot slowly up to 158F and hold for 15min, then slowly bring it up to a boil and proceed to boil for 10min. Stir often so the grains do not burn, but try to allow some 'browning' to help darken the colour and enhance the flavour/aroma profiles. Add the decoction back to the 125F mash, little by little, aiming for a beta rest temperature of 148F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. After this has finished, pull off roughly 1/6 (0.7gal/2.6L) of the thickest mash a second time and place it in the separate pot. Slowly bring the pot up to a boil and continue to boil for 10min. Add the second decoction back to the mash, little by little, aiming for an alpha rest temperature of 158F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. Once this rest has finished, raise the temperature up to a mash out rest of 167F and hold for 10min. After the decoctions and mash out are finished proceed to sparge/lauter as usual.
No Decoction:
Instead of the labour intensive double decoction mash schedule you could:
- Substitute some of the pilsner malt for vienna and/or munich to add colour and depth.
- Include some melanoidin malt for a slight decoction 'feel'.
- Add some carapils malt (or your preferred alternative) for improved head retention.
- After which, just carry out a temperature/infusion mash schedule based on your preferences.
**This beer won a national silver medal at the Saskatoon Headhunters Competition (2017) and has consistently scored 40's at other national competitions.
***With the regular 3.5%AA Saaz the hop additions are 1.5oz @ 90min, 2oz @ 20min, 1oz @ 10min, 1oz @ 0min. |

They were sold out so I got my grains and yeast from them, and hops from Yakima Valley Hops.

• 2 lbs German Vienna
• 1 lb Weyermann Munich 2
Hops: (Pellet Hops)
• 0.5 oz Southern Cross at 60 mins
• 0.5 oz Southern Cross at Whirlpool

Estimated ABV: 5.5% • Estimated OG: 1.053 • Estimated FG: 1.011
Directions:
Add 4 gallons of water and mash at 152°F for 60 minutes. While mashing, add 4.5 gallons of water to your hot liquor tank and bring to 185 degrees Fahrenheit. Wash grain using either a batch or fly sparge, however your system is set up. You should end with around 7.25 gallons of wort in your kettle.
Boil for 90 minutes, following listed hop additions, and if using an immersion chiller, don't forget to put it in your boil with 15 minutes left for sterilization, right after you add your chosen clarifier.
You should transfer 5.5 gallons of cooled wort into your fermenter to account for fermentation losses, so don't forget to calculate your system losses and boil o volume into the given volumes.
Ferment for 14 days, adding your dry hops in on day 9 of fermentation. Crash chill for 24 hours on day 14, then add 4 oz of Dextrose and bottle, or rack to your keg, force carbonate and enjoy!
Style:
5B – Kölsch
German style Kölsch with American style hopping, this summer favorite brings sunshine to every pint and person. Subtle notes of pear and lemon blend perfectly with a complex Kölsch yeast character, light grain sweetness, finishing with a crisp and lager-like character. This beer was made for summer! |
