Notes: If you haven't had a Classic American Pilsener yet, you're missing out! This is the first one I've brewed, and also even tried, but I'm extremely pleased with the way it turned out. One of my best beers yet. If you are asked to give a style example when asked to define just "beer", this is what comes to mind for me. Just a great, balanced, easy-drinking, flavorful beer (not too hoppy, not too malty, not too light, not to heavy, etc... A real "Goldilocks" beer - just right!). Give this one a try.

I've used both WLP833 and WLP838... But a pilsener yeast or any good lager yeast would probably work very well also.

♦ SESSION NOTES:
United Kingdom - Crystal 45L was changed out to US Crystal 40 (Phantom).
American Munich Light 10L was changed out to Best Malz (German) Munich Malt (Phantom).
Changed first addition hop from 0.9 to 1.0 oz.
Phantom didn't have WLP810 in stock so San Francisco WLP840 American Lager was used as substitute!
Started with 8.00 gallons of water. Too much water. 13.5 pds of grain did not seem to absorb as much after sparging. had to boil extra half hours to get it down to 5.5 gals final amount. 8.00 gallons will be the max. Changed again. End of Brew: left with 5 gallons. Had to add 1/2 gallons for 5.50.

♦♦ Use 3 Vials of San Francisco Lager Yeast WLP810 @ 62° CHANGE! 2 vials of WLP840 American Ale Yeast will be used.

WLP810 San Francisco Lager Yeast.
This yeast is used to produce the "California Common" style beer. A unique lager strain which has the ability to ferment up to 65 degrees while retaining lager characteristics. Can also be fermented down to 50 degrees for production of marzens, pilsners and other style lagers.
Optimum Ferment Temp. 58-65°F (14-18°C)

WLP840 American Lager This yeast is used to produce American style lagers. Dry and clean with a very slight apple fruitiness. Sulfur and diacetyl production is minimal. Attenuation: 75-80% Flocculation: Medium Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 50-55°F Alcohol Tolerance: Medium

♦ Northern Brewer Hops - Origin and Description
Northern Brewer Hops is an England native who is seeing its days live out mainly in Germany and the U.S. There is a separate U.S. hops variety that was bred in the United States that has similar properties. This dual use hops had a higher alpha acid content for the time, however super alphas have doubled, even tripled the content since back in the day. With that said Northern Brewer hops grown in Germany, sometimes referred to as Hallertau Northern Brewer if grown in the region, has made its mark and is used throughout beer styles such as European Ales, Lagers, and Pilsners. It is also synonymous with steam beers as in Anchor Steam.

Northern Brewer hops is used for both bittering and aroma additions in the kettle. It has an alpha acid content of 7.0%-10.0% and is a well rounded variety. The bitterness is moderate and the aroma comes off as plump. As one of Germany's main high alpha hops, Northern Brewer is both versatile yet refined.

Notes: Mash in to achieve temperature of 158 °F (70 °C). This temperature allows alpha amylase to be active but inhibits beta amylase so the resulting beer is slightly sweeter. Hold 30 minutes for conversion. Raise to 168 °F (76 °C) for mashout. Hold 10 minutes. Sparge with enough water to collect 6 gallons (23 L).

Add lactose powder and first hop addition at start of boil. Boil 60 minutes total, adding the Delta hops with 15 minutes remaining.

Chill to 64 °F (18 °C), aerate, and then pitch yeast. Ferment at 64 °F (18 °C) through primary, then let rise to 66°F (19 °C). Add the maple syrup when primary is slowed but still has minor activity. It will ferment the sugar but retain some aromatics. Condition for two weeks then rack to bottles or keg at 2.3 volumes.

Notes: if your like me and love hops just add an ounce of Cascade to your keg, let it slow carbonate for a 3 or 4 days then take it out and enjoy a great beer!

Notes: I guess it's not a strict Tropical Stout since I'm going to add coffee, maybe cacao nibs and put barrel cubes in the fermentor but that was the base I started from.

I ground 150g of coffee with my espresso coffee machine and put it into the mash with the malt. I'm hoping that it reduces the green pepper flavours that I hate in coffee beers. I am sacrificing control by not adding it as cold brew in secondary and I'm probably sacrificing efficiency of coffee extraction but I'll see how it goes.

I chucked the oak cubes in at yeast pitch to avoid opening the fermentor and to hopefully shorten the time I have to wait until I get flavours from them.
