German Pilsner, March 19 2008

German Pilsner - Brewed March 19th, 2008
I'm a huge fan of euro pilsners. There's surprisingly lots of variety in pilsners. Ideally, I would have liked to do a double decoction on this one but I wanted to squeeze in two separate 5 gallon batches today. In the interest of time, I opted for a step infusion mash that I use.
5 Gallons, All Grain, Step Infusion Mash, 70 Min. Boil

11lbs. Franco-Belges Pilsner

1/2oz. Homegrown Magnum 60min.
1oz. Saaz 3.2% 20min.
Whirlfloc Tab 20min.
1/4oz. Saaz 3.2% 10min.
1/4oz. Saaz 3.2% 5min.

White Labs, German Lager Yeast
Primary Ferment 10 Days
Secondary Ferment 10 Days
Step Cool (2 degrees F per day) to 38 degrees F then lager 1 month
