so here is a list if what im going to try to do ... please someone stop me if im doing somthing wrong or if i could do somthing better.
batch size 5 gal
boil size 6 gal
yeast - wyeast pils 2278
wyerman pilsner malt 8#
wyerman cara hell 1 #
crystal 20 - 1/2#
1 oz - saaz 60 min
1/2 oz saaz 30 min
1/2 oz saaz 15 min
mash 3 gal at 152F for 60 min
mash out at 172F for 5 min then sparge 172F keeping 1-2 inches of water above grain for around 20-30 min untill i have collected 6 gal.
Thats the proccess i have been using for ales. (please stop me if thats wrong)
since this is my first lager is ther anything i should do differently ? i only have made ales thus far.
thats it? ... what do you think ... i want to make somthing pilsner urkel "like"
but not as hoppy. or better than pilsner urkel would be fine.
