So I have to make something the Aussie side of the family will drink; I've been having a think and might try the following:
4.5KG Weyermann Pilsner (Bohemian, floor malted) - Double decoction.
30g Czech Saaz @ 90m (minutes, not meters!)
30g Czech Saaz @ 40m
30g Czech Saaz @ 20m
Wyeast 2001 Urquell Lager (that fresh stuff at Craftbrewer...)
18l. Might finish 5.5ABV. Will add
Start ferment coldish (7C) and work up to 14C for two weeks, then Diacetyl rest for a couple or three days, then lager for a month.
Any thoughts? The decoction is more for me developing my technique rather than benefiting the recipe - otherwise I'd just bung in some Crystal and or Munich...
