G'day,
I bought double the ingredients intended for a Hefe and an APA recently. I have made a batch of each, but have since changed my mind and would like to see if I couldn't make a lager out of the left over ingredients instead, without having to buy anything more than a different yeast (and maybe use some rice solids). I'm still searching through the recipeDB on the forum to see if any of the grain bills match what I've got in stock, but thought no harm in asking here as well. I'm only about 4 AG brews in so i'm not too sure what ingredients can be substituted easily.
Want to make a fairly simple lager (21 -23L size batch), something fairly clean and crisp, not over the top hoppy. Currently using the BIAB method, generally using 5kg of grain for a single batch (so could come down a bit). Getting about 70 - 75% efficiency.
These are the ingredients I currently have:
Grain
3.5kg wheat Malt (Battet Burston)
2kg Pilser Malt (weyermann)
3.5kg Ale Malt (barrett burston)
1kg Munich I Malt (weyermann)
Hops
Hallertau Mittlefrueh Plugs x 9
Cascade Pellets 50grams
Nelson Sauvin 40grams
The Pilsner Malt looks like a goer but not sure if the Alt malt or wheat malt would work. I think the Cascade and Nelson Savin hops seem to go together pretty well, but a bit of the Hallertau could probably be used if it doesn't clash in a major way.
Reckon it could be done?
Cheers
Edit: Dammit, just noticed the typo
