Notes: This recipe is designed as an ode to my growing up in Oregon and Washington. All hop selections are based on names synonymous with the Pacific Northwest. Flavor profile is intended to be a little piny accompanied by significant citrus notes.
5.5 gal will go into a fermenter and go through dry hopping. A separate 1 gal batch will be fermented (Safale 05_ and no dry hopping will be added. Side by side comparisons to be done after conditioning is complete. |

Notes: Corn Malt: ≈ 1-2 days prior to brew day, slowly roast Blue Corn Malt in oven until nutty aromas develop. Let cool, then cover loosely until crushing.
Yeast options: WLP940, OYL-113
Serve with a lime slice.
May, 2023 - 16oz (16%) Blue Corn Malt @ 325° for 30 minutes. Added depth, mostly bread, cracker, biscuit. No roast flavors. ≈ 5 SRM. Fermented with Baja which left some bready/yeasty flavors but was otherwise ok.
Feb, 2024 - 24oz (24%) Blue Corn Malt @ 325° for 40 minutes. Not much difference from 2023 version taste and color wise. Used WY2112 which was a far better choice than Baja. Very clean, slight sulfur, more lager-like.
April, 2025 - 24oz (24%) Blue Corn Malt @ 350° for 45 minutes. Used WY2112 but smack pack was dead. Used BRY-97 as emergency substitute. Beer was clean, crushable and not much, if any, difference from 2112. Additional roasting time and warmer temperature again made little difference. |

Notes: =============================
4/22/2021
brew day.
removing the hallertau mittelfruh and saaz in favor of nobility. adding some hallertau magnum i have in the fridge and then im going to have to add some warrior to get the rest of the way on ibu.
i picked up 10 gallons of glacier RO water from publix and added all treatments to strike water. next time prob need to get 15 gallons.
=============================
4/15/2021
copied into new recipe to change to 10 gallons. this time will be using reused bavarian lager 2206 yeast from maibock 5 gallon batch. i think half the cake in each fermentor will be ok.
Redoing the water, not sure what it was set to before....
appears there is no real way to get a decent water profile for light lager from my house water. hopefully i can get a couple of those 5 gallon jugs and not have to buy 10 damn gallon jugs from grocery
im not sure but i think i can just add all my water additions to the mash water and be done with it? use straight distilled for the sparge
=============================
8/12/2020
brew day. changing recipe to reflect saaz are actually 2.8 instead of 3.5. and i accidentally added .5 oz at 30 and flameout instead of .25 and .75 respectively.
=============================
8/11/2020
copied into a new recipe today to mess with water profile. thinking about starting with distilled or purified (not sure if this is the same as RO) and building. looked at the pilsner preset profile which is very soft but that is just base water and suggested will not work correctly for mash and yeast health! instead looking at actual target profiles for czech pils i found online, debating between two (one from AHA forum, other from braukaiser) link in the water profile.
be sure to add acid only to the mash.
=============================
7/12/2020
i rushed the end of this brew to have it ready for a trip to nj.
i believe i let it warm to 70 on day 10
cold crashed on day 11
kegged and carbed on day 12
canned on day 13
the cans turned out a little weird once we got to nj. diacetyl or dms or something. maybe a packaging issue.
when i returned home (day 25) the beer is still crisp fresh tasty and now clear.
overall i wouldnt be scared to try this fast fermentation schedule again, it turned out pretty clean. probably would want to start the diacetyl rest earlier and maybe for one more day. and it would be ideal to cold crash for at least a week before kegging. maybe two if you can stand it :-)
=============================
6/24/2020
kind of stuck the beer in the fridge without thinking about fermentation plan. i wish i had done the rustys' fast lager technique (pasted below) but its too late i think.
=============================
6/18/2020
brewed last night. original recipe i had 65% efficiency but came out at like 72. wanted to land at 4.9% but this will be 5.5%. oh well.
i think my efficiency is actually decent for 10-11 lbs grain, then goes down as i add more and more grain.
=============================
6/9/2020
heavily formulated from notes and sample recipe here : https://byo.com/article/bohemian-pilsener-style-profile/
=============================
not sure if i will use this on this brew but for reference, here is rusty's fast lager schedule :
1. 50deg for first 48 hours
2. raise one degree each day for 10 days
3. on day 11, allow temp to free rise to (warmest temp in brewery, but lets just say 70)
4. 9 days later start the cold crash |

Notes: **1/2/2020- I stopped fermentation with 8g of a sorbate/sulfite mix from a wine kit and added 1qt of Pear Juice in to back sweeten. Then cold-crashed and kegged and after 4 months it is amazing! I bottled the whole keg in order to make room in the keezer, and also because it's not an everyday drinker.
12/19/2019- Made this with 1.75G of Apple Juice and 3G of Pear. Unfiltered, unpasteurized. Ascorbic Acid in juice, but shouldn't be a problem. It was poured onto a WL-007 Dry English Ale yeast cake. Fermentation started in about 1-2 hours. NOTE: The sugar is not really added to the recipe, the OG here was lower than my measurements. |
