I have this planned for tomorrow, going to start early so getting it prepared tonight.
I typed into chat GPT asking it to give me a Dark Pilsner recipe and it gave me this:
For Yeast i'm going with CML Hell but otherwise sticking to the suggested recipe, sounds like it should be ok.
- Malt
- 6 lbs (2.7 kg) Pilsner Malt - The base malt for crisp, clean fermentable sugars.
- 2 lbs (0.9 kg) Munich Malt (10L) - Adds malt depth and slight sweetness.
- 0.5 lb (0.23 kg) Carafa III (dehusked) - Adds dark color without harsh bitterness.
- 0.5 lb (0.23 kg) Caramunich Malt - Adds a hint of caramel sweetness and body.
- 0.25 lb (0.11 kg) Chocolate Malt - For light chocolatey notes and further dark color.
- Hops
- 1.5 oz (42 g) Saaz (3-4% AA) - Bittering (60 minutes).
- 0.5 oz (14 g) Saaz (3-4% AA) - Flavor (15 minutes).
- 0.5 oz (14 g) Saaz (3-4% AA) - Aroma (5 minutes).
- Yeast
- 1 packet Wyeast 2124 (Bohemian Lager) or White Labs WLP830 (German Lager). Dry yeast option: Saflager W-34/70.
And I brewed it! I got an OG of 1050 and it smelled great, two packs of hell pitched and fridge temp set at 15c. I really like using carafa malt so I have high hopes for this one.
