Notes

Based on Mount Brewing's NZ Pilsner -

OG 1.051
FG 1.012
45 IBU

Malt bill
45% German pilsner
45% Pilsner or lager light
7 to 10% wheat malt

Mash
2 1/2 to 1 ratio of sulfur to calcium chloride similar to IPA
Single infusion for 50 minutes at 67 degrees Celcius

Hops
FWH Pacific Jade
10 minute boil 3g/L Motueka, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin
83° c whirlpool for 10 minutes 5/6 g/L Motueka, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin and let stand for another 10 minutes

6/7 g/L Dry hopping Motueka, Riwaka and Nelson Sauvin

Dry Hopping and whirlpool hop ratios are 60% Motueka 20% Riwaka and 20% Nelson Sauvin


Motueka is the hero hop. The other 2 are supporting hops.

Fermentation
Lager Yeast
Transfer to fermenter at 22C
Cool to 17C and pitch yeast
Allow yeast to grow for 24 hours
Then Cool to 12C to encourage slow fermentation and reduce phenols
After a further 24 hours raise temp back to 17C and leave to ferment until you reach terminal gravity of 1.012

Ensure terminal gravity is stable for 2 further days

Check PH – 4.2/4.3 – higher PH means the beer is too malty/soapy – not bright/sharp enough

Then cool to 12C and then start dropping yeast over the next 2 days.

Then add dry hops and bubble with 15PSI CO2 for 10 to 15 minutes

Leave for another 24 hours, then bubble again with CO2

Cold Crash under 20 PSI pressure to 1C

The next day start dumping hops

Then lager for 10 to 12 days at 20 PSI pressure and 1C
