We will drink to that! cheers #brewhappy #lagercold This is a starting point with grainbill and hops for the All-Grain Kit. Adjust equipment profile, mash profile and efficiency as per your own setup. Brewing salts and kettle finings such as Whirlfloc are optional , the recipe would benefit from a simple addition of 5g Calcium Chloride mixed with the grains at the start of the mash. METHOD: 1. Mash - Choose a higher temperature rest 69–70 °C (156–158 °F) for sweeter, fuller-bodied beers, or a lower temperature 64–65 °C (148–150 °F) for drier, less full beer style. 2. Mash off - Infuse mash with near boiling water while stirring or with recirculating mash system raise temp to mash out at 76C 3. Sparge slowly - once again the brewer should do normal regime at around 77C 4. Boil - vigorous boil for 90 mins 5. Yeast & Fermentation - The wort should be chilled to a temperature of 15 °C (60 °F) or below before you pitch your favourite Pilsner yeast and ferment around 10-12°C. 6. Do a diacetyl rest, by raising the temperature to 16–21 °C (60–70 °F) for a brief period (24–72 hours) after the yeast has nearly finished fermenting the beer. 5. Conditioning - Rack the beer off the yeast after 2-3 weeks when primary and secondary fermentation is complete and cold condition for 7–12 days per each 2 °Plato of original gravity. (One degree Plato is roughly equal to 4 specific gravity “points.”) below 5°C at or near 2°C is ideal.
