I started this one last night. Due to some limitations I modified it a bit: 2.5 gallon boil--do you think I can convince my landlord to upgrade my stove?--and I was using a new thermometer which I now think is off by 6-8 degrees so the steeping might be off slightly. I can't wait until Christmas when the fermentation is complete!

I'll let you know how it goes.

Partial boil will make it a bit darker than it should be, but it should end up just fine. The steeping temps are no biggy as long as you keep it below 170. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I got busy, so I'm just now posting my results. My OG was 1.055 and FG was 1.017. During dry hopping, some of the hops got clogged in the next of my carboy, so I wonder how effective it was. My batch didn't have that sharpness I associate with pilsners, but I didn't check the AA of the hops, so it might have been a little low, plus I don't think I've ever had a beer with Saphir hops before (this was a new flavor to me!) so maybe I just don't know what to expect from the hops. Nonetheless, I'm pretty satisfied with the beer, and I'm glad I brewed it.

Thanks for the recipe, Hooter!

I just put this in a keg in the lagering chamber, man it smells divine. I can't wait to drink it in a few weeks.

I have this sitting in the secondary and it smelled amazing when I transfered it and somehow I managed to ferment it down to 1.010!

What does everyone think of dry hopping with the remainder 1oz of Perle AND the .5oz of the hallertau which i subbed for the saphir? would this be to much?

i am in a brewing cooperative. What is I left the honey out. How would it effect the beer and is there a substitute?

Yeast Starter: Yes
Batch Size (Gallons): 5
Original Gravity: 1.056
Final Gravity: ?

2 lbs. Very Light-LME (60 min)
3 lbs. Very Light-LME (10 min)
1.5 lbs. Clover honey (15 min)

8 oz. Crystal 20L
4 oz. CaraPils

1 oz. Perle (60 min)
1.5 oz. Saaz (20 min)
