110 pounds of Pilsner !

[Greenteaturtle]

Just brewed 40 gallons with 110lbs of Pilsner. the gravity is 1092 what’s it going to taste like? Negating hop characteristics & water content!

 

[MHBT]

dilute it if you can..thats what BMC does

What’s BMC? Before or after fermtaion?

 

[MHBT]

What’s BMC? Also it Tate’s super sugary

Bud, miller, coors..if you dilute it it will be less sugary, im sure they have dilution calculators online

What’s BMC? Before or after fermtaion?

Bud, Miller, Coors

Before adding yeast dilute to 1050 to 1056 or something.

What’s BMC?

Budweiser Miller Coors

before preferably .before you pitch the yeast if you can

Before this evolves into a circus.

1) How is it possible for people to be able to tell what a beer will taste like where the only information provided is the OG and that pilsner malt was used?

2) Why should OP dilute it?

It's like saying that one used a lot of a certain flour in a bread, and the other one is saying that more water should be applied. And that's it.

Im just trying to help, what do you think he should do?

That's totally impossible to tell given the fantastically little info given. Does he need to do anything at all? What is his goal? What's the rest of the recipe and process?

If he just wanted to make a wort where the grist is 100% pilsner malt, and he targeted an OG of 1.092 I'd say he doesn't need to do anything as he's right on the mark and is obviously doing a fantastic job

If he's trying to create an English Mild, then there's some stuff to talk about.

That is a good point, i made assumtions

no need to dilute, option.

 

[Greenteaturtle]

true I did give bare bones info but for the sake of speed. The root of my question is will it be palitable for an advrage drinker. Advrage is subjective. Also if any one out there has done a similar recipe.
If there’s no real answer other than to wait and Taste, I’ll post an update in a week or so.
Cheers.

 

[AMessenger]

Definitely maybe

All we know is the initial gravity you mentioned. If it ends at 1.01, you'll have ~11% ABV. That's about as much as anyone could tell you. People regularly drink beverages that strong, whether it be cocktails, wine, big beers. So that ABV in and of itself isn't an issue. What accompanies that ABV will determine if the 11% is an issue, and other than pilsener malt flavor, I don't know what else you're doing.

Boulevard does a fantastic Imperial Pilsner around 11% and I just had a wonderful 18.4% IIIIPA last night. I vote for letting it ride and posting the results

this sounds like a fine idea, but not what i'd want to do with 40 gallons of wort. I'd ferment half as is and dilute the other half resulting about 6 kegs of beer.

What does the two last "I"s stand for?

 

[Br3w4u]

What does the two last "I"s stand for?

Quad IPA? Just guessing.....

Immeasurable Immense Imperial IPA?

 

[Br3w4u]

I’m just confused at how someone got to the point of brewing 40 gallons of all grain beer but doesn’t know what to do to fix whatever they think is wrong with it. That’s like a semi pro batch right? Sounds expensive.

Indistinguishably Intense IPA? I have had some of those LOL

I guess on top of that, we still haven't seen the actual recipe. Hop schedule, yeast being used, etc. If the hops are fine, then there's probably nothing to fix about it.

 

[Br3w4u]

My vote is that it will taste like beer. Depends on how it gets fermented though. Might taste like a donkey’s hind quarters.

 

[Br3w4u]

The OP is a new member as of today and they never really said anything else so I feel this isn’t a serious thread. Fake news!

I predict it will pour with a translucent greyish-green with a nine-inch head. Beautiful lacing. Amazing musty aroma, maybe a little mango and molasses. Intense lemony flavor, laced with a touch of tartness and coffee. Heavy mouthfeel and light finish.

Why would you blow 110 pounds of grain to brew 40 gallons of anything if you don't know WTF you are doing????

 

[grampamark]

Why would you blow 110 pounds of grain to brew 40 gallons of anything if you don't know WTF you are doing????

IKR. You could brew 75-80 gallons of 1.070ish beer with that much malt.

 

[MHBT]

whats next? a IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPA

 

[user 125772]

....pretty sure you cant get 1.09anything with that amount of grain ...

A couple of my 10 gal IPA batches use 27 pounds, and it only ends up at 1.075.

Yall fell for the bait.

 

[Greenteaturtle]

I used 5 ounces of Waima hops 17.4 aa% in the boil not sure what to dry hop with but usee 60 grams of 05 yeast. I am a total amateur and thought I was following the recipe right but wondered why the gravity was so high and realized I miss read the recipe . . A little.
Will it taste like donkeys?

Indeed.

I think OP has a real working man's beer going.

Grabbing a beer and some popcorn. This gon' be fun.

Everyone knows Pilsner is a girls malt.

And Waimea is a dual purpose hop so it goes both ways... not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[madscientist451]

Edited post, decided it was too sarcastic.....

Seriously, I doubt it will taste like donkeys.
But with the high ABV, after the second pint you won't care what it tastes like.

 

[MaxStout]

Never had donkeys, either, but I've had some burritos.

Mmmmm....burritos.
