Stella Artois

[technocat]

Anyone know a recipe close to Stella and what style

 

[MitchDudarko]

Brewcraft make a good K&K if you're interested in doing it that way. It consisted of:
-1 can of pilsner wort (this one used Munton's)
-Czech Pilsner kit converter
-500g Wheat malt
-Saflager W34/70 Yeast

 

[Thirsty Boy]

Stella is a pilsner style beer - probably somewhere between a Czech and a German pilsner. Mitch's advice seems good for a kit brewer - for a partial or AG brewer, just go with a Czech Pilsner and 100% saaz hops. Where thats different from Stella - it will probably be better.

I agree with thirsty. Go all pils malt if AG with saaz (czech style) or something noble (German/euro).

I should know - we can smell our own kind

• Buy several hectares of real estate at Leuwen, Belgium
• Establish a brewery and several hundred years later get taken over by Inbev
• Introduce lots of maize into your grain bill because fortunately you are a few KM outside the Reinheitsgebod
• Reduce your alcoholic strength from 5.2 abv to 5.0 (from October 2008)
• Be adopted as the drink favoured by wife bashing UK skinheads...

sorry couldn't resist it. The death of a once great beer.

Righto, a simple no would have been fine.. I've only tasted it lately and I didn't mind it..

so again. does anyone have a AG recipe of the new "crap" version of it?

Tried in once when given to me. Thirstys, and fourstars advice above would give you something that could be similar but IMO better
I am guessing a lager yeast and a cool ferment

Listed as commercial example of Premium American Lager in BJCP guidelines, try a google for a recipe.

1/2 VB 1/2 water isnt it?

Gava, sorry mate, typical cynical Pom here but actually I do have a pint or so of the Stella at the Irish pub opposite Caboolture railway station when I get off the train, it's the only drinkable brew there. And no I don't have a recipe but when I get into proper lager brewing in the winter I'll be having a shot at North euro brews. I would like to do a genuine Pilsener but that's sort of like attempting Mt Everest at my present level.

Carlton Cold I choose not to comment on. I used to sit in the bleachers at the indoor sports centre drinking coldies while I watched my goddess playing indoor cricket many a weekend before she left me for an (even) older man and just seeing a bottle of the stuff is a wrench.


Mind now that's 15 years ago and last time I saw her she's getting old and fat like her mother and all her aunties hahahahah. :lol:

I think most Ag brewers could figure this one out... convert the kit to a suitable AG style...
