Notes: Fermentation:
Cooling: Immediately cool the wort to around 50°F (10°C) to prepare for pitching the yeast.
Pitching: After aerating the wort thoroughly, pitch the yeast. Using a yeast starter is highly recommended to ensure a strong and healthy fermentation, especially important for lager yeasts.
Pressure Fermentation: Ferment the beer under a pressure of 10-15 psi. This suppresses ester and fusel alcohol production, allowing for a clean fermentation. Pressure fermentation can also permit slightly higher fermentation temperatures, potentially up to 60°F (15.5°C), without sacrificing the clean flavor profile desirable in a Czech Pilsner.
Diacetyl Rest: Towards the end of fermentation, allow the temperature to rise to 60°F (15.5°C) for 48 hours. This helps the yeast metabolize any diacetyl, preventing off-flavors in the final beer.
Lagering: After the diacetyl rest, reduce the temperature to 35°F (1.7°C) and lager for 4-6 weeks. This step is crucial for developing the crisp, clean character of the beer.
Packaging:
Carbonation: Target 2.2-2.5 volumes of CO2 for authentic Czech Pilsner carbonation. This can be achieved through bottle conditioning or forced carbonation in a keg.
Conditioning: After carbonation, the beer benefits from further cold conditioning. Allow it to condition at lagering temperatures for at least two weeks before serving to ensure the flavors have melded and the beer has clarified.
Additional Tips:
Water Chemistry: The soft water profile is key to a Czech Pilsner. Adjust your water chemistry to mimic that of Plzeň, focusing on keeping the mineral content low to highlight the malt and hops.
Decoction Mashing: This traditional method enhances the malt profile and complexity of the beer. It's time-consuming but contributes significantly to the authenticity and depth of flavor in the final product.
Yeast Health: Starting with a healthy yeast culture is vital for clean lager fermentation. A yeast starter will help ensure you have enough viable cells for a clean, vigorous fermentation.
Patience: The lagering phase is essential for achieving the characteristic clean, crisp profile of a Czech Pilsner. Don't rush this step; the longer lagering period will reward you with a clearer, more refined beer.
By following this detailed recipe and process, you should be well on your way to brewing a delicious Czech Pilsner that pays homage to the traditional styles of the Czech Republic. Enjoy the brewing process and the resulting beer!

Notes: Mash start at 0815 with 4kg Gladfield Ale Malt and 250gms Gladfield Redback at 67C in 12 litres.
Sparge started at 0930 return 1 1/2 litres wort back to tun.
Collect 29Litres and fire up gas at 1015. Boiling at 1045. Add 30 gms Pacific Gem in spider to boil.
Add 25gms Citra at 1300 after Flame out at 80C.
Start chilling ( tap temp water ) at 1300. 38C at 1350, 30C at 1415. 40L water used to cool.
Start runoff into Fermenter at 1415. Collect 22.5 at 1500 = 45mins.
1042OG at 30C = 1045 giving 79% efficiency.
Into fridge at 1505 set at 18C.
Yeast saved from Brew8 washed and pitched in with vigorous stir at 0100 25/4. Starting to bubble at 1030 - 9 1/2 hrs later.
Thursday 2nd May. Gravity around 1008. Brew has had the No.6 ( whitelabs ) yeast?? smell and taste for 3-4 days. Taste has improved slightly 2/5 so going to risk salvage by adding 25gms Mosaic and 25gms Citra 1300 on 2/5. Hoping for the best, could be wasted hops??
Sunday 5/5 250ml gelatine added. Yeasty? smell still apparent - Taste not so bad. Chill to 3C Sunday 5/5.
Here's hoping it's ok to bottle Monday or Tuesday. Taste Monday hard to say still a bit smelly.
Bottle Tuesday 7/5 - 24x750ml ( 18L ) and 7x500 (3.5L ) = 21.5Litres plus 1/2 bottle ( 500ml ) drained off from fermenter - cloudy with yeast and hops.
