I really like Saaz and lots of recipes you find for Saaz are going to be a pilsner style using lager yeast. I made this for US-05 ale yeast in a 5.5G AG BIAB batch mashed at 150F for 60 min and a 60 min boil. Saaz is based on 3.75AA and my efficiency is 80% in case you need to adjust. My beer turned out at 1.043, went down to 1.009 and est to be 4.3 ABV.
I BIAB so stuck sparge is not an issue for me, and I mention this due to the amount of rye included.
5# 2 Row
3# Rye Malt
8 ounces Carapils
4 ounces C 20
.5 oz Saaz at 60 min
1.25 oz Saaz at 15 min
1.25 oz Saaz at 5 min
2 teaspoons black peppercorns (light cracked) at 5 min
.75 oz coriander seeds (cracked) at 5 min
.5 oz sweet orange peel at 5 min
The rye and Saaz are very complimentary and the misc additions play on the spiciness of these components. I really didn't say much to folks about the ingredients but they kept their cups under the tap until it kicked.
