Hello All,
I have brewed a couple pilsners with infusion mashes, but I was hoping for something a little better.
Recipe for 7.5 Gallons:
16 pounds Weyerman Pilsner
1 pound of Carapils
Saaz Hops 4 additions.
So, I have a morebeer 1550 that allows me to do step mashes. Is there any reason to do a decoction mash when you can do a step mash. With the malts I am using do I need to do either one. I am trying to brew great pilsners and I want to try whatever I need to do that.
I have good temperature control with a chest freezer. I use Whitelabs yeast with starters, oxegenate the wort with 02, and I try to adjust the pH with Lactic Acid and my electronic PH meeter. I normally cut my hard water with at least 50% distilled. Sometimes I use bottled spring water and distilled together.
Thanks for the suggestions,
Tom
