Notes: Added 1.25 gallon of watermelon juice per 9 gallon beer after 14 days in primary. Watermelon juice SG is about 1.030. Equivalent OG would be around 1.056. Actual efficiency was 78%, and O.G. was 1.060 before watermelon juice addition.

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

Priming Amount: 4 oz

Creation Date: 10/8/2017 3:38 AM

Notes: 1800 mil starter

dissolve cocoa powder with 5 oz corn sugar
in 1 qt hot water to make syrup.Add syrup
45 minutes into the boil.

2-3 vanilla beans soaked for a week
in rum added to secondary.

This beer finished at 1.020 due to the
unfermentables and high mash temp.
The F.G was 5.0 a bit lower than
expected.Efficiency was way off.

In my 14 years of brewing this is my
personal favorite beer.
Head retention and lacing last to the
bottom of the glass.

Batch #2 finished at 1.015 and shows
in final ABV.This is where I want this
beer to finish,it is more to the style.

Brewhouse efficiency was around 62% in first batch.Batch #2 was 73% which is
about right for my system.

ABV 5.70 nice winter beer with some
alcohol warmth.First batch was thin.
Chewy,nice chocolate-coffee flavors
with a touch of vanilla.

I`ve made 4 batch`s of this and found
that this last batch from 1-2-14 has hit
it`s peak after 4 months.
The longer it ages the better it gets.

Batch 3 and 4 I made this year (2014)
Jan. and April.I`ve got it dialed in
at 5.70 ABV and recipe is solid at 70%
efficiency.If you try this recipe I hope
you have good luck with it.The rum and vanilla beans are what make this standout
for the final taste and richness.I would
recommend to age at least 2 months.

Great Holiday brew - enjoy-

- Cheers -

Notes: Try for a dry stout with a chokolate flavour, never tried recepie before.

When priming, smooth but yet clear aroma and taste of chokolate. Interesting, and a first taste will come in 4 weeks. 14 sept-15
