Notes: The suggested mineral additions for this recipe assume an average NZ water profile and should be fine for most NZ water sources. The target water profile in ppm is shown above.

1. This recipe is designed to include mineral additions in the mash. If you do not have scales, 1 flat tsp/4g each of gypsum and calcium chloride will be a close approximation. The mineral additions are designed to target an optimal mash pH of ~5.2 without the need for larger amounts of acidulated malt. Calcium is also essential for stabilising mash enzymes and for yeast health. The mineral additions are also very important for the flavour profile of the beer. If you do not have brewing salts in your home brewery, they are available for purchase on the LoB website and will last a great many brews for a small cost.

2. All of our hops are packaged in 50, 100 and 200 g packs. This means that for this recipe you will have an extra 24 g of Pacific Jade hops. You may wish to use some of them to adjust the bittering if the current stocks of hops are a lower alpha acid %, or keep them for another brew.

2. If you wish (particularly if your system requires excessive sparging, below SG 1.012), add sufficient lactic acid to the sparge water to lower the pH to 5.6 prior to heating (~ 0.5 - 1.0 ml/10l lactic acid depending on water source).

3. We recommend you add kettle finings (whirlflock, Irish Moss). and yeast nutrient 15 min before the end of boil.

4. Cool the wort to 18 deg C and promptly transfer to a fermenter.

5. We strongly recommend that the yeast be rehydrated in sterile warm water per the manufacturer’s instructions. If not, you may lose up to 50% cell viability. Pitch into well aerated wort at 18 deg C and allow to rise to 20 deg C.

6. When the primary ferment is complete, hold the fermentation temperature at 20 deg C for 7-14 days. Two-three weeks from start to finish is a good rule of thumb.

7. When ready, rack the beer to a CO2 purged keg and force carbonate to around 2.7 vols CO2. Alternatively, for an authentic sparkling ale presentation, bottle or keg conditioning with priming sugar is a great option. Do not cold crash if you choose this option and do not rush the beer. A stable finishing gravity is a must (one week for clean beers is a good safety margin) and use a priming calculator. For those who choose to bottle condition, we recommend targeting between 3.0-3.5 vols C02.

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: Split into two fermenters and used two seasonal WY strains: WY2105 Rocky Mtn (Coors) and WY2272 North American (Christian Schmidt). Both were built-up to ~400B cells in decanted 2.5L starters. 2272 is reportedly the same as WLP840.
