[SIZE=medium]Lads, I’m tackling a Jever (northern German Pilsener, bitter and dry) and would like some input if you know anything about this beer. There’s no tried and tested clone recipe out there (that I could find). I have done some investigation on other forums and a little bit of my own thinking. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Here’s the background:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]The back of the bottle reads: “For 150 years, in the Friesland region of northern Germany, the Jever Brewery has used only pure Friesian spring water and fresh Hallertau hops in a beer that has become prized for its distinctive palate and crisp, dry finish - Jever, The Original Friesland Pilsner."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]It’s about 38-42 IBU and a dry beer.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Here’s my approach:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]I’m yet to do the calcs for the right mass of all the ingredients, but will do it after a little appraisal. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=medium]Hit me with some comments please! Cheers[/SIZE]

- [SIZE=medium]100% Pilsener malt[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]Mashed at 63°C[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]Target 1046-1050 OG for ca. 5% abv [/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]90 min boil (DMS boil off)[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]Hallertau-Mittelfrüh hop additions at 60 mins, 30 mins and 10 mins (proportioned appropriately to hit 38-42 IBU).[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]Wyeast 2042 Danish Lager Yeast[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]Diacetyl rest[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=medium]No adjuncts[/SIZE]
