I have a kit from Brewer's Best for Vienna Lager, but it is new world recipe and I am unhappy with it. It comes with a pound of corn sugar and I would like more malts. I also want better hops. I have some ideas, but I am wondering if anyone has a great vienna lager old school recipe that will taste like it was brewed in Vienna in 1890 and not Mexico in 2010.
I am not at home, but I will post the ingredients of the BB kit when I get there, basically, I want to take that kit and enhance it. I want to make a 5 gallon batch.
My memory of the kit is that it comes with specialty grains, I think crystal and vienna. fermentables are 1 lb of corn sugar, 1 lb of amber dme, 3.3 lbs of munich lme. Hops are 1 oz brewers gold for bittering and .5 oz sterling for aroma.
I don't have lagering capabilities so I am going to use white labs european yeast.
thanks
