Hello,
I am trying to make a good Czechvar clone. Please give me some feedback on this recipe for 7.5 gallon AG Recipe.
Water is number one. I am going to use Distilled water and add
2.6 g gypsum, 3 g calcium chloride, 1 g Epsom salt, and .3 g baking soda.
According to Palmers spreadsheet that gives me:
CA 62, mg 4, alk 8, na 4, cl 64, sulfate 81, ra-39,chloride/sulfate balanced
Recipe
15 pounds weyerman pilsner
1 pound carapils
I will infuse with 6 gallons of water to rest at 133 degrees for 20 minutes.
Then I will recirculate mash water thru heat exxchager to step up to 157 for 60 minutes.
Then recirculate to get temp up to 168 for mash out.
Sparge with 5.8 gallons of treated pilsner water same as above.
Chill to 50 degrees, areate, nutrient, then pitch 4 vials of White Labs Bohemian Lager Yeast
Any suggestions????
Thanks,
Tom
