Hello,
So after I brewed my Norwegian Pils with french Mistral hops, I decided to brew more lagers. This time different. I understand now that late additions and whirlpooling hops just add too much aroma and flavour. And although pleasent, they need to be more subtle. So this will be a challenge, which I hope you can assist with. I don't want a sweet/malty Pils, but a more bitter one. It can be hoppy, but I don't want tropical fruit, citrus, etc. Hopefully I am closer this time to a better version of something easy drinking.
PILS / VIENNA LAGER
96% BESTMALZ Pilsner / 96% BEZTMALZ Vienna
4% BESTMALZ Chit / 4% Dingemans Biscuit
W-34/70
0.9 oz Hallertau Magnum ---> 60'
0.9 oz each of Spalt Select, Mittelfruh and Hersbrucker ---> 40'
0.9 oz each of Spalt Select, Mittelfruh and Hersbrucker ---> 20'
OG: 1.049-1.051
FG: 1.008-1.010
IBU: 45
ABV: 5.3-5.5%
Any thoughts are welcome.
