STATUS OF SNY GRAIN BUY #6

FYI - looks like the grain was supposed to be delivered today (twogunz is out of the office on travel so he will report back to us later). It will not be possible to count or divide the splits completely for at least a couple days. However that means that the grain will be ready for SAT pickup.

Twogunz will be posting more information on that in the coming days.

Hello everyone, I have been brewing for a little over to a year now and just recently registered with homebrewtalk.com. I live in the buffalo, ny area and am excited to get involved with this group buy. Can anyone recommend a good pilsner urquell clone recipe and a base grain to use?

Maybe Cidah can give you a specific recipe, but you definitely want to start with a high quality continental pilsner malt, Saaz hops and soft water. You can add a small amount of carapils or a light caramel to add color and additional body or richness in the finish. A decoction mash is traditional but not strictly necessary (you gotta decide for yourself). I personally used a bit of light Munich to try to add that maltiness. Pitch a ton of healthy yeast, aerate well, and watch the fermentation temperature!

I just did a pilsner urquell clone about 7-8 weeks ago.


check this out in the mean time if you are looking at lager and decoction help.

I would go with a german pilsner (I like BZ-PILS) and stay german throughout the malt you select.

I did a single mash out decoction boiled for 22 minutes

Est Original Gravity: 1.055 SG
Measured Original Gravity: 1.010 SG
Est Final Gravity: 1.014 SG Measured Final Gravity: 1.005 SG
Estimated Alcohol by Vol: 5.45 % Actual Alcohol by Vol: 0.65 %
Bitterness: 37.6 IBU Calories: 43 cal/pint

11g batch

17 lbs 9.6 oz Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 80.00 %
2 lbs 3.2 oz Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 10.00 %
1 lbs 1.6 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 5.00 %
1 lbs 1.6 oz Munich Malt (10.0 SRM) Grain 5.00 %
83.60 gm Cluster [6.50 %] (60 min) Hops 30.9 IBU
59.40 gm Saaz [4.00 %] (15 min) Hops 6.7 IBU
46.20 gm Saaz [4.00 %] (0 min) Hops -
2.00 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 min) Misc
1 Pkgs Pilsner Lager (White Labs #WLP800) Yeast-Lager
1 Pkgs Urquell Lager (Wyeast Labs #2001) Yeast-Lager

big starter (I did 6qts about)

Mash was single infusion at 155Ffor about 35minutes, then pulled the decoction and boiled for 22mins to mash out.

pitched at 45F and fermented at 55F
did a d-rest at like 1.020 to terminal gravity at 65F.

Follow up from round 6 buy:

I will double post this on both threads

If your name is on this list you need to either:

1. Make Payment
2. Tell me how to handle your credit

If your price owed is in the read it means that you cannot pick up your grain yet. If you send me a personal check you cannot pick up grain until I see it clear in my bank account.

Let me know if you have any questions

So, if people don't pay, does that mean their grain is open to others to buy?
