Stimulate decoction? Is this a work safe thread?

Well seems how Budweiser is the largest selling beer in the country and is supposedly styled after a "Pilsner" and you are using 6lbs pilsner malt I would think it is a pretty safe brew for the under-developed palate. Also going with 2 oz of hops should keep them from giving you that puckered WTH is this look I get when I give my bud loving brother in law a beer to try.

first time trying sorachi ace hops

debating to add .5pound crystal 10

 

[molsonG]

brewing this tommorow, got the grain bill crushed so cant really change that. can still add the crystal 10. or change the hops

Let us know how they like it.

I think it'll probably still be too much for them, at least at first, but it looks like a good one to work them into it with. Interesting hop choice, it should throw them from what they think hops are.

Umm what? How does pilsner relate to under-developed palate? You do realize you just described like every belgian beer right?

i brewed the recipe as i posted today, but i made 10g instead of 5g. i didnt add any crystal malt. i also switched the 60min to a FWH, but did a 90min boil. one carboy will get san fran lager yeast, the other will get danish lager or us05, havent decided yet.
