    Notes:
  • 6-7.5% ABV
  • dry finish
  • restrained malt, hops and yeast profile
  • malt: mainly pilsner (could sub 50% marris otter) and table sugar (~10%). Optional small amount of munich (~10%). Malt gets us to ~1.050. Add sugar with 15 min left in boil, turn off flame to avoid scorching.
  • hops: noble hops, ~25IBU @ 60 mins, 10-20g Styrian @ 5 mins
  • mash 66C
  • boil 60 mins (some recommend 90 for SMM in pilsner but probably not worthwhile)
  • yeast: any of 3522, 1214, 1762, 3787
  • pitching rate 0.75 M cells / mL / P (~2.5L starter for liquid yeast)
  • pitch at ~18C, wait 24 hours, then raise to 21C over couple days
  • if having trouble attenuating can add the sugar to the fermenter when primary fermentation is finishing up.
