So, today I decided to brew up a Pilsner for the first time. I've done Kölsches and California commons before, but this is my first real honest-to-God lager. I've got my temperature control planned out and hope it comes together.
The Recipe:
9 lb 2-row pale malt
4 oz crystal 60
4 oz Cara-Pils
5 AAU (13g @ 11% AA) Galena @ 60
3.2 AAU (28g @ 3.2% AA) Tettnanger @ 20
3.2 AAU (28g @ 3.2% AA) Tettnanger @ 5
Whirlfloc tablet @ 15
Wyeast 2278 - Czech Pils
Dough-in with 12 quarts of water and mashed for an hour at 149°. Batch sparged at 180° to get 26 quarts for the boil.
O.G.: 1.054
Est. IBU: 29.4
Since I already had sanitizer out and everything, I also took the opportunity to add a couple ounces of dry hops to CitrAmarillo. I'm feeling pretty good about these last 3 batches.
