A little back ground on this recipe.....
On 9/9/09 I brewed two beers....first one was Schlenkerla's Mille Lite clone...
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f62/miller-lite-really-triple-hopped-123937/
It turned out really good. Safale 05 dryed out nice. Beer was crisp, clean (and flavorless...LOL) just like miller lite. Several of my Lite drinking friends swore I opened a bottle of Lite and poured it into a glass.
I also attempted a second brew that day. While buying the ingredients for the miller lite clone, I got to thinking how Miller calls Lite a pilsner. To me, Pilsner is well, Pilsner Urquell.
So, on a whim, I said, "I'll buy the ingrediants to make a Pilsner, going along the same lines as the Miller Lite." Well....I didnt work that way. Or rather, I didnt work that way.... So now, taking the recipe for the Lite, punching it into Beersmith, and modifiying it to a 2C American pilsner, here is what I came up with.
9-9-9 Pilsner
Classic American Pilsner

2.00 lb Corn, Flaked (1.3 SRM) Grain 22.22 %
2.00 lb Pale Malt (6 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 22.22 %
1.00 oz Saaz [4.00 %] (60 min) Hops 14.6 IBU

Single Infusion, Light Body Step Time Name Description Step Temp
75 min Mash In Add 11.25 qt of water at 161.4 F 150.0 F
10 min Mash Out Add 7.20 qt of water at 200.2 F 168.0 F
Created with BeerSmith
So, aside from it not being lagered, and assuming the S-05 does what it did with the Lite clone, what should I expect from this brew?
I have also made a recipe using all cascade, but I guess I am just sentimental for the Saaz.
I am hoping to duplicate the process of the Lite, with more body and flavor.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Third degree?
