I had intentions of making a lager with sapphire, i stumbled upon your thread, and to bitter i have a limited amount of mostly armerican hops, what do you think if i got 15-20 ibus from Warrior hops, they are suppose to be nuetral and clean. For bittering. maybe aroma with the sapphire also.

This beer was most excellent. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'm going to get started on another batch shortly.

I brewed this beer back on Oct 13th and just tried the first one last night. WTF?! This beer is effing incredible! I'm sure it wasn't my skill that made this beer so yummy.

Thanks for sharing the recipe! I'll definitely brew this one again. I was thinking of converting the recipe to all grain. Anyone already have one?

I posted a picture below but it's not coming up for some reason...

My lager turned out really good with the Warrior for bittering and sapphire for finishing. I also used about the same amount of crystal malt but it was a variation of a little bit of carapils,crystal 15,and aromatic. Didnt do the honey though.With a bit of wheat and victory also.But it was a partial mash with Pilsner malt also. One of my best beers,i just undercarbed a little bit thanks to the confusion of the temp variable priming calculator.

Going to give this a shot next week. My first Pilsener, although I may do a partial mash instead of the first DME addition. Can't wait to see how it turns out!

Honestly, this was one of the best beers I have ever made...

I'm very grateful for this recipe, although I didn't adhere to it strictly.

What kind of grains would you use for this recipe and how much?

Thanks in advance.

Pilsener Malt, maybe some Vienna for color.

Just finished putting my version of this in the lagerator. I did a partial mash.

Instead of 2lbs XL DME at 60 minutes, I used:

1 LB 2-row
1 LB Vienna
1 LB Pale Malt
mashed with the rest of the grains as the recipe called for at 155 degrees for 60 minutes.

I followed the rest of the recipe as it was written, with a 75 minute boil instead of 60 to account for the partial mash. Instead of WLP 800 I used Saflager 34/70 (2 packets). This is my first lager and I am excited to see how it turns out!
