Same here. Usually I get close to 80% with US-05. Nottingham in low 70%.

Strange, because I never had very good attenuation with this east. Good flavor profile. Yes. Flocculation and quick to start - sure. But not very good attenuation, usually in the range of 70%. For higher attenuation US-05 is the one to go. Is it me only or anybody else sees this trend?

>>> Step up to 178 degrees. Sparge as necessary. I would not go that high. 170 is good enough.

Besides of color and taste by adding more of a light colored crystal you increase amount of non fermentable sugars hence impacting FG and body of your beer.

Absolutely. There is no point boiling beer, use water. Also I'd go with only half a quart to avoid impacting FG of the beer. But I hope you realize that result will be a bit different. The hop aroma in this case will be different from dry hopping. It has been a wile I had Dead Guy, but I don't...

I did it a few times. Same procedure. Since lagers don't have this dominant easter profile it's very easy to overdo with it. Use your hops sparingly at least for the first time. In another experiment for a pilsner I added hops for 1 min boil in to priming solution which added nice and fresh...

Denny, where did you get it from. I'd be willing to give it a try.

I had a chance to use both. S-23 gives a bit of fruity notes indeed. Used it twice. Pitched 2 packs per 5 gallons and fermented it around 50F. One was helles, the other was german pilsner. In helles fruitinnes is (still drinking it) obvious but not overhelming and there are no much hops to hide...

I don't think you can do this recipe with extract only. But for PM book suggests using 5.25 lb of Mutons Extra Light DME plus 3.5 lb Light LME instead of Pilsner base malt.

I think Amazon can ship "on behalf" of drop ship partner, but it does look like Amazon's item. I'm stumped.

There is Baltika porter clone recipe in "Beer Captured". I'll take a look when get back home. I did it once. Good one. Requires long lagering time.

That's how it's called. Partigyle. Thank you! Here is an article about it: BT - Parti-Gyle Brewing As for efficiency - if phidelt844 decides to try I'd like to know the result.
