Couple of lagers
Want to do a couple more brews in the next week or so. It’s time to do a couple of lagers again. I have only made a few good lagers so I’m going to go back to those recipes and work it form there.
The first will be a pils. I have been wanting to do a pils for a while but haven’t gotten around to it and haven’t had the beer stocks high enough to allow for lager brewing time. It will be a very simple recipe. Malt will just be German pils malt and possibly a little carrapils for some extra body. If I can do a single brew day I will do a double or triple decoction. If I don’t have the time for that it will have to be single infusion. I did a single infusion last time and it came out very well. Last time I made it with NZ SaazB hops so it wasn’t quite authentic. This time I may use the to bitter, but will probably use Magnum, and will use Czech Saaz for late additions.
The second beer will be a Schwarz. Will stick pretty close to the recipe I made in the past. A very simple recipe with pils malt and caraffa. I don’t remember which hops were used but it will be something neutral with possibly a little Hallertau as a late addition. No decoctions or similar for this. Just a very simple beer.
Now to find the time between everything else.
