Bohemium Pilsner Recipe

[sluggerdog]

Would love to come and taste but will have to take a raincheck.

Will be interested to hear when you get these hops back in stock so I can give them a crack myself.

Cheers
SD!

Im thinking about using this hop as a final addition in a simple munich helles (95% wey pils, 5% melanoiden) with Perle for bittering. Does the late hopping rate you use give too much flavour/aroma for this style?

I was thinking about a 30g addition at 15min only plus bittering at 60 only.

Ash,

Never having had a fresh Bo Pils I can't really comment - Saphir has a really nice, soft clean aroma profile & appears to give a touch of sweetness, it's why on my next one I'll be upping the IBU's at least another 10 units or like you, using another hop for bittering. The current beer tastes about 25 IBU's to me...

Sluggerdog, will be plenty back in stock this week.

cheers Ross

i agree Ash
clean bitterness and aroma but not much hop flavour otherwise the light malt is overshadowed
it's actually a tricky style to brew. much harder than a gutsy ale anyway.
my 1st BoPils had a husky flavour, i'm thinking too much sparging
2nd is tasting better (on tap now)
3rd (lagering) should be awesome
