Notes

This is a bit of an experiment on salt additions. The base pilsner recipe is, well, rather basic. I am trying to amp up the the sulfate to provide a crisp, bright hop profile. Hopefully won't overwhelm the beer. Guess I will find out. Also going to ferment at 49F to try to suppress some esters.

I will step crash the beer after diacetyl rest 10 degrees per day to as low as our pilot FVs will get to, which is typically 42 degrees in the summer. I will lager the beer in kegs in our walk in cooler for 4 to 6 weeks. Carb up, then serve.

We use RO water so take that into consideration for the additions I listed.
