Planning a brew day at my house for our club. We are going to brew an Oktoberfest.
Recipe:
5.5 gal batch
5.lbs 15oz Pils= 50%
3.lbs 9.3oz Munich= 30%
1.lb 8.8oz Vienna= 13%
- - 9.6oz Caramunich= 05%
- - 3.8oz Aromatic= 02%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hops:
1oz Tettnang 60 min.
0.50 Hallertauer 30 min.
0.75 Hallertauer 15 min.
Yeast:
WLP 833 German Bock
I have a Blichmann 15 gal. kettle with false bottom. My question is, Will this style greatly benefit from a step mash? Say 122*- 144*-157*. I have a pump so I could recirculate step mash while heating, or will a simple single infusion work just as fine?
Also our water profile is:
Ca 34
Mg 4
Na 26
s04 12
Cl 27
Hc03 138
Should we add anything to our water. I know its best to have the Ca in the 50-100 range.
Thanks all, first time hosting a brew day as the new president. We also dont have many members here on Guam.
