Notes: Ballbuster. A bumped up version of Aussie Blond, with 2 lbs more malt to push it over 8%, and more oz flavor hops and dry hops.

2 hour mash on a tight grind. Good conversion.

Notes: Using a 9L keg: Heat keg up with a boiling starsan water mix and drain. Add 1kg of either Dry spray malt extract or 1.1L of heated liquid malt extract (hot as you can get it). Add 1L of hot fresh boiling water to DSME or 2L of hot fresh boiling water to Liquid malt. Add hops, sugar and water treatment, yeast nutrient. Shake to mix. Let stand at near boiling temp for 5 mins. Longer if you want more bitterness. Top up water to 8L. Oxygenate. Allow to cool to fermenting temp. Add yeast. Seal keg. Shake, add spunding valve. Ferment as required.

You could add the hops to the boiling water prior to adding.

Ive used bottled water in this recipe.

Keg will need floating dip tube to OUT post.

ACTUAL METHOD USED.
Due to the dip tube rattling inside the keg I mixed and boiled the bottled water and malt extract in a sauce pan. First hops in the boil for 8 mins. Second hop in the keg prior to sealing at 15c. You could dry hop day 2 or 3 for biotransformation, whatever that is!!. Im nit very hopping so will go to 20psi.
Ferment, cold crash and serve from the keg as above.
7L of Carrick Glen Mineral water used.

Brewed on 20/09/22: Cooled overnight before adding final hops and yeast. Day 15 appeared to have finished fermenting. Crash cooled on 07/10/22 Day 17.
By 13/10/22 it had cleared on its own without any finings or getting, Day 23.
Excellent head, slight yellow colour. Distinctive strong Lime Aroma with Lime and sherbet type aroma. A bit sweet, slight toffee and sherbet flavour. A very nice beer for such minimum effort. Certainly will repeat.
Ive since done a shake and Brew IPA in 19L keg. Turned out 6.43% and had a very strong flavour with a slight, alcohol flavour.

Notes: I always raise the temp a few degrees as fermentation begins to show signs of slowing. Along with oxygenation and a starter. Temp control is key.

Notes: Brewing our first simple, old-school ESB. Probably the most traditional beer we've ever made, actually. Single infusion for 60 minutes at 152 F.

11/21/15: Brew day for this. Just finished our mash and now collecting. Pretty much hit target gravity.

Made for a very hoppy beer.

Notes: Step by Step
The traditional Pilsner Urquell utilizes an undermodified Pilsner malt that is malted by the brewery. The mash is subsequently triple decocted to help break down the protein matrix that is still present in the undermodified malts. For three reasons we have decided to change up the classic recipe. First homebrewers don’t often have access to undermodified Pilsner malts these days. Second, a triple decoction means a long and rigorous brew day for the brewer. Finally adding in a protein rest could be detrimental to the beer’s body and head retention. So we’ve simplified the mash procedure and added some malts to help adjust the color and add a slight toasted character that the triple decoction should otherwise add to the beer’s profile.

Mash grains with 15 qts. (14.2 L) soft water at 142 °F (61 °C) and hold for 30 minutes. Perform a decoction, pull 1/3 thick portion of the mash (~1.5 gallons/5.7 L) and bringing to a boil. Boil for 15 minutes being sure not to scorch the grain mix. Stir the decocted portion back into the main mash.

The main mash should now settle at 155 °F (68 °C). Hold for a 30 minute rest.

Mash out, vorlauf, and then sparge at 170 °F (77 °C) to collect enough wort to result in 5 gallons (19 L) after a 90-minute boil. Boil 90 minutes, adding hops at times indicated. Cool, aerate, and pitch yeast.

Ferment at 50 °F (10 °C) until signs of fermentation have slowed considerably. Some diacetyl is noted in Pilsner Urqell, but if there is a strong diacetyl presence at this point, 2-4 days at 65 °F (18 °C) is advised. Rack to secondary and lager for 4-6 weeks at 40 °F (4 °C). After lagering is complete, bottle or keg as usual.
