- Tasting Notes
- The next best thing to a lager. 4.9% ABV
Ingredients:
6.0 lb Liquid Light Extract
1.0 lb Carapils® Briess
1.0 oz Tettnanger (4.5%) - added during boil, boiled 60 min
1.0 oz Hallertau (4.5%) - added during boil, boiled 60 min
.5 oz Tettnanger (4.5%) - added during boil, boiled 15.0 min
.5 oz Hallertau (4.5%) - added during boil, boiled 15.0 min
.5 oz Tettnanger (4.5%) - added during boil, boiled 0.0 min
.5 oz Hallertau (4.5%) - added during boil, boiled 0.0 min
1.0 ea Wyeast Kolsch or Fermentis Safale US-05
I add the aroma hops directly to the wort so that they continue to provide flavor and aroma throughout. They will eventually settle out with the yeast and proteins so I don't filter them out either.
I do 3 gallon boils since I don't have a wort chiller yet and do my boils on the stove.
I don't have the equipment to do a true lager so I developed this easy recipe to make my favorite session beer. A light ale that would be a true Pilsner if not for the yeast.
