Need A Name For My Pilsner

[SpottedDogBrewing]

I'm getting ready to brew a Pils and am in search for a good name. Any suggestions?
Its going to be 10 pounds of German Pils, 10 pounds of American Pils with german hops and american hops.
:rockin:

Germerican Hoppy Pilsner!

 

[SpottedDogBrewing]

Nice!!
I was looking at Battle Names of WWII between the Americans and Germans.
Thanks for the imput!!

How about:

Donner Party Pils? (The Donners were German-Americans)

 

[JJL]

Traditionally, Pilsners are named after the place they are made or after their maker followed by Pils.

Thanks Bend Brewer
Great name, that may be what i use.. I'll have to a little reading on it so i can explain the name when i offer the beer

Not exactly German-American, but...

The German side of the border was called the "Siegfried Line", and the French side was the "Magenot Line" (maj-en-O).

Oh, wait...it just hit me...had to go back a little earlier than WWI/II...

German-American conflict between Geo. Washington and the Hessian troops at Trenton (NJ)...(I'm from So Jersey...)...

Hessian's Defeat Pilsner
Washington Kicked Butt Here Pils
Hessian's Slumber Pilsner
Surprise At Dawn
Patriot Pils
The Valley Forge-Trenton Affair, nah, too long...

The Valley Forge-Trenton Affair, nah, too long...

I like long names, Neidrige Klasse Braugesellschaft= Low Class Brewing Company (I think thats a pretty loose translation though)

Supposedly the Headless Horseman was a Hessian Soldier.

Maybe "Headless Pils"?

 

[Toga]

How about Panty peeler pilsner or Panzer Pils

 

[Toga]

oops forgot to select edit

 

[homebrewer_99]

There was a Steppenwolf song titled "Earschplittenloudenboomer"...John Kay is from East Germany if memory serves me correctly.

Call it Phil. Phil Pilsner.

 

[homebrewer_99]

Call it Phil. Phil Pilsner.

Who's Phil? And why not "Phil's Pils"?

 

[JKoravos]

Erin White's Pilsner.


Sorry, I'm not very creative.

 

[Pick]

Make it 9 lbs of German and 11 lbs. of American, use slightly more American hops and call it, "American Victory Pilsner".

If using the original recipe call it "Stalemate Pilsner".

 

[iron_city_ap]

Who's Phil? And why not "Phil's Pils"?

No Idea who Phil is. It's just a random name that popped into my head.

 

[Blenderkitty]

Well then, just take the next step and call it Philsner.

I actually like the Prusso-American route better, tho.

 

[brettwasbtd]

Axis and Allies Pilsner

 

[JKoravos]

Multiple Personalities Pils

 

[viking73]

Never ask the Beer Forum Pils!

 

[rhoadsrage]

Well if you want German's to like it you might have to name it after The Hoff (David Hasselhoff). No name needed just a picture of The Hoff in leather on the tapper.

 

[GRHunter]

How about "0-2 Pilsner"

 

[SpottedDogBrewing]

Thanks for all the name options
I'm brewing today and I think it will be the Stalemate Pilsner
Thanks to PICK!!!

Brewed on Sunday everything went well, the only thing I'm worried about now is I used my own harvested lager yeast:-/ Didn't use a starter but pitched anyhow!
Any comments on how the results will end up? will it kick off properly?

I think that will depend if the yeast is pro german, or pro american. I think you are just gonna have to wait and see. Is this the first time you have used harvested yeast? Sometimes, depending on age, it can take a while to start, but I would wait 24-48 hours a pitch more if you see no activity. If you pitched onto a fresh cake you will probably already have activity by now
