Here's the recipe I plan to brew this evening:
6 Gallons
Malt:
6 pounds Breiss Pilsen Light DME 1L
1 pound Coopers Light LME
8oz CaraPils 1.5L - for body/head retention
8oz CaraHell 12L - for sweetness
OG should be 1.057 according to ProMash. Color should be 3-4 SRM
Hops (ALL Saaz 3.3%):
2oz - 60min
1oz - 30min
1oz - 15min
1oz - 5min
This should give 37.2 IBUs (Urquell is 40 IBUs)
I plan to steep the grains at 155 for an hour, and add the DME & LME in the last 10 minutes of the boil. I also plan to add Whirlfloc and Yeast Nutrient during the boil. I will bring down to 70 with my chiller and pitch my Czech Budejovice Lager Yeast (WLP802) yeast with which I made a half gallon starter 2 days ago. I will be decanting the starter wort and pitching the yeast slurry only.
If you have comments on my recipe, please post them soon. I am slightly concerned about using CaraHell since it is slightly darker than I want to go. I have some Vienna and German Munch malts that I could potentially add at 4L and 6.5L respectively, but don't know if their taste would be appropriate. Thanks for your opinions and feel free to copy this for yourself!!! I will post back to report on the outcome.
