For sure I’ll let everyone know how it goes. I also looked up pfriem Pilsner clone recipes online and I was able to get good info from those recipes as well as what I’ve been getting here from everyone’s wisdom. Overall, it’s not pricey to get the dme, lme, grains, and hops. The pricey item...

Ok cool! Yeah, I decided to buy this: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-115-can-beverage-cooler-stainless-steel/6191309.p?skuId=6191309 It has the dimensions I need and temperature control. For the Pilsner, I’ll just use the Pilsen DME since it’s already a good selection. Thanks!

Thanks for the info here! I am going to buy a temperature controlled 115-can bottle cooler that allows the user to set temperatures up To 50 degrees. My gallon fermentor will wonderfully fit and I can keep it at 50 degrees during the fermentation process so the yeast doesn’t get stressed.

The grains are being used based on what Pfriem is doing with their Pilsner. So, what could I do in regards to an extract? Should i use a LME or DME and based on Pfriem’s Pilsner here, what would you recommend? https://www.pfriembeer.com/beer/pilsner

Thanks for the reply and details of your fine wisdom here. I’m trying to clone on my small scale, the Pfriem Pilsner. They use all these hops and grains. I want to give it a try and see what comes of it. I inputted everything into brewers friend and it gave me identical IBu, ABV and SRM to what...

I’ve decided I’m gonna get a 115-can beverage cooler to use as my prime fermenter. They range from $200 and up and the one I’m looking at is temperature controlled up to 50 degrees which is perfect for the Pilsner. As for the recipe, I can’t stress this enough, the grains and hops are...

Yeah, I know it’s complicated but I’m happy to try it since it’s a gallon batch. I actually was able to match Pfriem’s IPA pretty closely, not exactly there, but very close. As well as Buoy’s Pale Ale, which came out very very nice. I’m going to probably try the recipe I created based on what...

Awesome info here! Thanks!!!

Yeah, I’ve tried and they have yet to respond. Pfriem, overall, is a very good brewery and has amazing beers. But haven’t heard from them yet.

I’ll look into it. Will the yeast cause a lot of flavors to be off?

For additional info: I’m doing this for a friend who loves this beer (I love it as well) but it’s his favorite Pilsner that he can’t get where he is at now. I want to make it as a way to congratulate him for having his first kid :)

Lots of good info here, thank you! The hops are based on what they use for the Pfriem Pilsner. I try to match as close to the flavor profile and IBU. Plugging the numbers and amount into brewers friend seems to match what they are doing. I know it’s not as accurate since they are an actually...

Yeah, I plugged in the hop amounts and hop varieties based on what they use. I’m trying to match the flavor and IBU as close as possible.

This is actually a neat idea. I just imagine I’d have to switch out the ice bottles at least two times a day... or more.

hi everyone, I’m going to attempt my first Pilsner and I’m super excited. However, I’m having a hard time finding what I could use to keep the fermentation at 50 degrees or cooler. I live in South Texas and i brew 1 gallon batches. So I can’t brew it outside, I don’t have a basement and my...

That sounds like a plan, thanks for all the advice

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I figured 10% - 11% would be lost in the boil so tailored the recipe that way and it worked out it seems...at least as close as I could get. The grain efficiency is something I’m having a hard time understanding. I know extract is pretty efficient but my confusion is...

Hello, I am trying to formulate recipes of my own and I can’t figure something out. My first hand at brewing was with craftabrews American pale ale 1-gallon recipe. What I’m trying to do now is tweak what they are providing with some of my own stuff according to their website: ABV - 5.5 SRM -...

I’ve am also trying a recipe for an IPA I put together based on Pfriem’s IPA details that I could find: 1.75 lbs - Munich LME 0.5 oz - crystal light malt (38 L) 0.5 oz - crystal dark Malt (120 L) .20 oz - Chinook hops for bitter .10 oz - Mosaic hops for flavor .10 oz - Citra hops for aroma...

So, in the end, this is the recipe I’ve developed and will be trying: 1.5 lbs - Munich LME .10 oz - American Crystal Malt (60) .20 oz - centennial hops for bitter .20 oz - cascade hops for aroma Yeast - US-05 I will let everyone know how it goes. Brewers friend seemed to give me green check...
