Notes: Double Decoction:
*Note: Pilsner Urquell uses a triple decoction method with an initial acid rest, but I use well enough modified malts and correct for pH already so the first of three decoctions is unnecessary. The decoction measurements below are ones I developed for an electric system and err on the side of caution, so they are the lower amounts needed to potentially reach the next temperature step and direct heat can be applied to compensate.*
Perform a protein rest at 125F for 15min, then pull off slightly less than 1/3 (1.16gal/4.4L) of the thickest mash and place it in a separate pot. Bring the pot slowly up to 158F and hold for 15min, then slowly bring it up to a boil and proceed to boil for 10min. Stir often so the grains do not burn, but try to allow some 'browning' to help darken the colour and enhance the flavour/aroma profiles. Add the decoction back to the 125F mash, little by little, aiming for a beta rest temperature of 148F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. After this has finished, pull off roughly 1/6 (0.7gal/2.6L) of the thickest mash a second time and place it in the separate pot. Slowly bring the pot up to a boil and continue to boil for 10min. Add the second decoction back to the mash, little by little, aiming for an alpha rest temperature of 158F. Hold this temperature for 30min while adding back any leftover decoction (if any) as it cools. Once this rest has finished, raise the temperature up to a mash out rest of 167F and hold for 10min. After the decoctions and mash out are finished proceed to sparge/lauter as usual.
No Decoction:
Instead of the labour intensive double decoction mash schedule you could:
- Substitute some of the pilsner malt for vienna and/or munich to add colour and depth.
- Include some melanoidin malt for a slight decoction 'feel'.
- Add some carapils malt (or your preferred alternative) for improved head retention.
- After which, just carry out a temperature/infusion mash schedule based on your preferences.
**This beer won a national silver medal at the Saskatoon Headhunters Competition (2017) and has consistently scored 40's at other national competitions.
***With the regular 3.5%AA Saaz the hop additions are 1.5oz @ 90min, 2oz @ 20min, 1oz @ 10min, 1oz @ 0min. |

Notes: Made the usual starter w/ 4500ml filtered water and 1# DME. Boiled 15 min and cooled. Pitched, left for 2 days or so then cold-crashed.
Mashed in a little lower than we wanted and it settled around 148 - after 15 minutes or so we recirculated and stirred - mash was kind of stuck - dealt with that - got the temp up to 151 eventually and left it for the duration.
Mashed out as best we could - still very sticky. Started sparge - first runnings were 1.087 or so. Dropped like a stone and ended at 1.010. Ran out of liquid - did not collect 13g. Gravity was 1.057 so we added a g. of water. Preboil gravity at 50. Boiled 90 minutes as that is the traditional way. Post boil at 55 so added another g. of water. Original gravity of 1.051 w/ about 11.5g. in the fermenter. Lots of activity apparent by the next morning.
This beer went to the 2015 Homebrew Festival in San Diego and apparently was very popular - people came by the booth and said they heard that Claude was pouring a good Kolsch! To me, it's a tad heavy on that Kolsch malt - I think we need to back off a little. Got a little too much of the biscuity flavor going on. Still excellent and refreshing! Still a bit too light in color too!
Also sent 3 bottles to the Oregon State fair and got some interesting comments back. They seemed to think it had some yeast issues... |
