You Give Me Jever

Pilsner - German Pilsner
All Grain

Brewer's Notes

24L volume represents losses from the kettle as well. 21L into the fermenter.
Actual finish was 1008.
Beersmith gave an estimated IBU of 41.

Mashed using the Zwickel pilsner mash
20 min Protein Rest Add 10.32 L of water at 57.7 C 52.0 C
40 min Beta Add 4.01 L of water at 96.7 C 63.0 C
20 min Saccrification Add 6.31 L of water at 95.3 C 72.0 C
10 min Mash Out Add 4.59 L of water at 93.4 C 75.6 C

Resulting beer has a nice bitter background but doesn't taste 41 IBUs, which is kind of what I was aiming for.
I didn't do any real research into Jever other than knowing it was 45IBUs but I aimed for a nice clean pilsner with noble hops for the flavour and flameout additions.
Hallertau Aroma from NZ so I could bitter with something with a bit more AA...

That's the one.

Jever? - used to drink that in germany - my best mate was born in the city from where it comes...

Might have to make it then

I can't lay claim to it being an exact clone.
The bottleshop where I've been getting Jever hasn't got it back in but if it does I'll do a side by side to see how close my half arsed method came to the original.
