    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    Has anyone experimented with pre/post-boil and even post-fermentation pH adjustment? With lagers on average finishing at higher pH's, along with a 3#/bbl dry hop, I'd imagine they are ending a bit higher than some NEIPA's, and wonder if a lower 0.1-0.2ph would benefit at all. I know...

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    A heads up for anyone wanting to use the Andech's strain we've talked about a bit in this thread (aka Wyeast Lager X) or for anyone searching in the future. Propagate lab sells the strain as MIP-620, and you can order a 1bbl pitch for $30 (1mil/ml/*P). They keep it in stock at all times and...

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    Has anyone trialed lagering before adding the DH load, vs adding the DH load shortly after D-rest (or soft crash from D-rest down to ~55), then kegging and waiting for carbonation & clearing? In one of the podcasts, Bob mentioned that Timbo was a 3.5 week beer, and because it was an intentional...

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    Sounds fantastic. Is that recipe for 5 or 10gal? I also used Mt. Hood throughout the boil on my last attempt along with the Andech's strain and was happy with how it came out. That strain really seemed to keep the bitterness a little more in check than when I used 34/70, and I liked the bit...

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    Good to know. I've always skewed my DH towards cryo (and now lupo) instead of the WP. This style can really accentuate bitterness depending on where you put it.

    What don't you like about using cryo in this recipe?

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    The DH from the OP/SoCal recipe isn't really that big, at least compared to modern hazies. But several of us have noticed a significant increase in bitterness post-DH. I've used fairly soft "standard" lager profiles for both of my attempts. I wonder how HPB treats their water for this beer...

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    I wonder what the connection is between the lager yeast and large DH charge bitterness pickup, as compared to say a Hazy Pale? I would think with the higher finishing pH of lagers vs ales that you would actually get less bitterness pickup from the DH? Obviously the water profile is quite...

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    For those that have done a few iterations of this recipe, or similar. Where have you landed on hotside bittering charges for amounts/time, if any? Based on my experience of the second batch, the intense bitterness pickup from the DH on top of the 28IBU charge at the beginning was unexpected...

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Higher protein content than 2-row for head retention and haze stability.

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    I think it mostly depends on your setup. If your setup allows quick chilling and high boil-off rate, you should be fine with 60min boil and chill to 185F before whirlpooling. I have a 10% boil-off rate and have done plenty of 60min 100% pilsner brews without any DMS issues.

    New England IPA "Northeast" style IPA

    Another data point for a NEIPA with no oats/wheat. 11.5gal batch 98% Canada 6-row 2% Flaked Barley 153F Mash 10min 9IBU CTZ 175 WP ~15IBU Idaho7 Ferment with Oslo @ 95F SG - 1.062 FG - 1.016 (expected 1.012 as that's where Oslo always ends for me. May lower mash temp slightly next time)...

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    Got ahold of some INIS-711 German Monk Lager from The Brew Hut. Called them up and they were about to place a large order of HB vials and tacked my order onto theirs. 6 vials should be arriving today. Planning on brewing up a Helles and then racking onto that cake for a West Coast Pils...

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    Do any other yeast mfg's offer the Andech's strain other than the seasonal WLP835/German Lager X for homebrewers? I would like to get ahold of a pitch of it to try with some Italian-style Pils and WCP. I tried it once a looooong time ago and don't think I did it justice.

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    I prefered the first version. I was pretty surprised how different they turned out despite being fairly similar in grist, water profile, hops used in WP/DH. Really the biggest difference was the yeast used, the bittering hops being shifted back, and hop spider usage. On the second attempt my...

    German Pils Bo Berry Pils (West Coast Pilsner)

    I've brewed this twice now, with pretty different results, 10gal batches. Same grist for both: 90% Pils 10% Chit First batch: 30min 1oz Wakatu (10 IBU) 0 - WP for 15min (From flameout to 185F)- 4oz Wakatu, 1oz Citra cryo, 1oz Mosaic cryo (35 IBU per Beersmith 3) Ferment with Oslo @ 85F for 4...
