I found myself with some leftover ingredients, and am planning on brewing the following with it:
8# 2-row
1# munich 10L
1# vienna
1/2# cara-vienna
1oz cluster hops @ 60
1oz cluster hops @ 15
saflager w-34/70
mash in @ 122
double decoction to 147 and 158
mashout @ 168
water profile will be similar to the pilsen, czech profile in beersmith
primary @ 50 degrees, 2 day diacetyl rest @ 68, then lager around 40 degrees.
estimated final stats: 1.055 og, 38 ibus, 6 srm
~~~
I've done a few decoctions, and am familiar with the process. I've never used this yeast though, or made a pale, light pre-prohibition pilsner-esque brew before. Any advice, thoughts, etc, on this?
i'm thinking about maybe reducing the bittering hops slightly, and lowering each of the decoction mash temps a bit, and need some feedback from those in the know
Thanks in advance!
