Hi All,
This is a request for comments on the Pils recipe below.
I am looking to do my first extract. After brewing 6 kits, I have been thinking about my brewing experiences and why I brew... (this is typical, I must pontificate) and have decided that maybe I should attempt my own.
My previous two brews have been successful, and thanks to inmates on this site, I am getting more confident with the process.
So with the aid of Beersmith, here is my plan, a basic Czech Pils.
Boil 5 L of Water
30 min 1.00 kg Light Dry Extract (8.0 SRM) Dry Extract
30 min 1.50 kg Pale Liquid Extract (8.0 SRM) Extract
30 min 0.50 kg Corn Sugar (Dextrose) (0.0 SRM) Sugar
30 min 40.00 gm Saaz [7.50 %] (30 min) Hops
5 min 30.00 gm Saaz [7.50 %] (5 min) Hops
Add water (as needed) to achieve volume of 23.00 L
Urquell Lager (Wyeast Labs #2001)
Original Gravity Estimate: 1.044 SG
Final Gravity Estimate: 1.011 SG
IBU: 29.1
Estimate ABV: 4.2%
Brew at 12C
Lager at ambient (~27C in Brisbane)
Is there anything more I should add?
Will there be enough aroma with a 5min boil and will it be bitter enough (with the style)?
Cheers,
LL
