Well, I think I've got my gear together (finally) and I want to make a brew....
I'm planning a Pilsner and I'm looking for some comment on the recipe I've been messing with. If anyone has any comments/advice on the following, I'd appreciate it :
Quantity: 23 Litres
Steeped till immediatley before it comes to a boil:
1Kg Hoepher CaraPils
.25Kg Thomas Fawcett Caramalt
Boil (60 min - full volume):
3.4Kg Light DME
.4Kg Corn Sugar
Hops:
35.00 g. Perle Pellet 6.80 60 min.
30.00 g. Saaz Pellet 4.00 10 min.
35.00 g. Saaz Pellet 4.00 0 min.
35.00 g. Saaz Pellet 4.00 Dry Hop in Secondary
Yeast:
WYeast Bohemian Lager 2124 (with 500ml starter - if it ever takes off.....)
Water:
15L Crystal Spring bottled
8L Perth tap water (which is basically bore water where I am - I thught it might be too hard)
Ferment: controlled freezer at around 10deg until nearly there and after a day for diacetyl rest into a secondary until Christmas !
