Target Water Profile
Pilsen (Light Lager)
Ca+2 Mg+2 Na+ Cl- SO4-2 HCO3-
13 6 8 13 37 20
This is according to "American Lager" water profile with Brun Water.

To achieve a relatively close water profile, will need 80:20 Distilled to Regina water.

Finished water profile will be approximately:
Calcium: 11.6
Magnesium: 7.2
Sodium: 25.6
Chloride: 11.8
Sulfate: 56.2
Bicarbonate: 47.9

Notes

Multistep mash: 132F for 15 minutes; 142F for 30 minutes; 152F for 30 minutes; 160F for 20 minutes; and 168F for 10 min. Boil for at least 90 minutes, following the hop schedule. Aerate wort well and knock out the wort at 48-50F. Pitch yeast. Ferment at 52F until you have about 2-3P from terminal and raise the temperature to 60F for a diacetyl rest.

Once terminal gravity is reached, crash 1-2F per day until you reach lagering temperatures of 31-32F. Lager for at least 4 weeks, but preferably 6-8.

PH should be 5.3-5.4.
