Hey guys
Im thinking of trying to do a Emersons Pilsner type beer for my new year's keg and have a few questions...
First off, im thinking of doing pretty much Boh Pils malt along with maybe a bit of CaraPils, say 200g in a 20 litre batch? And hopwise ill be looking at D Saaz, lots of late additions, and maybe some kind of other NZ hop like NZ cascade or maybe a tiny bit of Nelson Sauvin?
My questions are, am I taking a big risk by no chilling? Has anyone done this with 95% + Pilsner malt and had any adverse DMS related effects? Or is it fine? I have a copper chiller but dont want to waste the water, I allready use more than I should be with all the beer I make Im probably going to use Wyeast 2000
My other question is in relation to a decoction mash, does anyone have a decent link on how to? And what benifit would this give me in my beer? I have a step mash schedule from Zwickel for his Pilsner mashing, was thinking of using this, but im not sure...
Cheers guys
