Hello everyone , I want to have a go at making an imperial Aussie lager just for something different
Wanted to know people's theories on what the ABV , ibu and bu:gu ratio should be and also any advice on the grain bill
Still working out all the recipe bits but what I've got so far is ...
21 litre batch
5kg pils
1kg dextrose
20 ibu of cluster at 40mins
5 ibu of cluster at 10 mins
Boil for 90
Mash 55 for 10 mins , 64 for 40-50 mins , 68 for 10 mins and 72 for mash out
Batch sparge at 65 for 30 mins then up to 72 to finish
Was going to use a German lager yeast and ferment at 9 degrees for 21 days and lager in secondary for 39 days at 1 degree
Brewers friend comes up with an ABV of 7.5 , ibu of 25 and a bu:gu of around 0.35
Got a while before I want to make this probably a couple/few weeks away
Kind of sounds like a shit beer but I'm locked into trying it anyway
Cheers
