Just tapped mine today after three months of lagering. Nice saaz flavor. It finished dry-1.005. Abv was 6.4%, which is too high. Oh well.

So are you part of Yeastie Boys or just coincidence?YeastieBoys said:Oh, do you?!
I really want to make up this Pilsner but I don't want to deal with doing a double decoction mash. I have done it before and it took too long and everything I read says melanoiden malt is a suitable replacement.
Is it possible for me to simplify this recipe and do a single decoction type of deal where I put in my infusion water to get the grain up to 148F for 30 minutes and then take out grist and boil it to get me up to 158F for 30 minutes more? After this I would just drain the MLT and then sparge with regular water at 168F.
It seems like thre has to be a good compromise between the double decoction and using melanoiden malts but I am no expert on this subject so I figured I would ask.
EDIT: Changed 142F to 148F
Beer came out great. Thanks for the recipe OP!
Did you make any changes? And would you make any changes next time?
I am brewing this on Saturday but using W34/70.
