I need a brew assistant. Number one candidate is my father, a VB and Melbourne Bitter drinker from years back. However, he dismisses AG as 'way too much bloody hard work'. I need to show him the light.
I'm looking to make a beer that's
-pale
-PORed
-inoffensive
Basically, a beer that is how VB would be if it was made according to the Reinheitsgebot, in order to show him that all that hard work IS worthwhile.
I'm thinking
2.5kg pale ale malt
2.5kg pilsener malt
200g Carapils
All mashed at 64C.
15g POR at 60minutes
5g POR at 30 minutes
US-56 at 18C.
