receipe for Stella Artois

I have a new brew shop locally. They will make a kit to your recipe. I want to try to make a Stella. Does anyone have a recipe for that? Also Im looking for an extract recipe.

 

Do you have the equipment to lager?

 

9 lbs 8 ounces German Pilsner
1.5 oz Saaz (@60 min)
0.5 Saaz (@5 min)
Irish Moss - last 10 mins of boil
WPL 830 German Lager Yeast
7.0 gal pre boil, 5 gal

Not sure what you mean by equipment to Lager? I am pretty new to this. All the recipes I have read say to ferment at like 40 degree's F and it takes up to 12+ weeks?

 

Yes it appears that is a little above my paygrade....lol. I may just find a Stella like brew

 

First the standard disclaimer... lagers are very difficult to brew as good as the pros do. You can get something in that general range but don't expect to brew something as good as you can buy without a lot of practice.

Stella/ABI advertises they use corn, and you can tell by the taste. My guess would be to make a grain bill of about 80/20 german pilsner malt to corn giving you 1.045 pre-boil, and 1.050 post-boil, do a decoction or two (the beer is gold, not yellow as the grains alone would give), hop at 15-18 IBUs, and ferment cold with a clean lager yeast. That would put you in the ballpark.
