Ok I got around to trying this:

Lager experiment (German Pilsner (Pils))

Original Gravity (OG): 1.050 (°P): 12.4
Final Gravity (FG): 1.013 (°P): 3.3
Alcohol (ABV): 4.91 %
Colour (SRM): 3.2 (EBC): 6.3
Bitterness (IBU): 34.8 (Average)

80% Pilsner
10% Carapils (Dextrine)
10% Vienna

3.5 g/L Saaz (3.6% Alpha) @ 60 Minutes (Boil)
0.9 g/L Saaz (3.6% Alpha) @ 15 Minutes (Boil)


Single step Infusion at 66°C for 90 Minutes. Boil for 90 Minutes

Fermented at 10°C with Saflager S-23


Recipe Generated with BrewMate

As this was another overnight mash I dropped the lager malt to 4kg and still ended up with 25L at 1.050 anyway pics:

My sophisticated insulation, mash went on at 9pm

Started at 68c ten hours later at 7am this morning it was still at 57c so Im assuming it had a good few hours at starch conversion temps

lovely grains

patented bag pulling system

dedicated brew kettle, SWMBO relegated it because we have one that matches the kitchen now!

it boils!!!

bottling whilst the boil is on, ably assisted

However Harvey is unimpressed!

this is where I weighed the hops sorry I forgot the gratuitous hop shot

Oh and i chucked turbo cider on too!

and made some more of this!


Knackered now!!!!

You have been busy Rich..getting christmas presents sorted?

 

[rich27500]

Yes Dave I have 160 bottles for presents, and two more fv's to bottle up. That 'green apple' tasting ale you experienced is excellent for making the chutney
