Notes: ======= 10/14/2023 ===============
this brew came out fantastic! couple execution items to clean up - didnt seem to clear out fully, and 2nd half of the keg had faint oxidation.

the hop combo was really nice, mosaic dominated and there was no bittering. next time consider going 2/3 centennial 1/3 mosaic

====9/6/2023===============
finally about to brew!
decided to go with corn instead of rice. adjusted the water profile. its a little high on calcium but should be locked in to the 1:2 cl to so profile adjusted from tap water.

thinking about mash hopping?? maybe not for this since lager yeast
====8/1/2023========================
new recipe!

i think i have the malt bill down, 80-20 pils to rice. would like to understand the difference between using flaked rice vs minute rice (any flavor difference? any price difference?) and also between flaked rice and flaked corn (flavor difference?)

also need to figure out water, im guessing i can use my west coast ipa profile

also need a plan for hops. what bitterness we aiming for. going fruity/juicy? or classic american hops?

will go with 34/70 at 68 degrees

Notes: Recipe for a classic Bohemian Pilsener

This is a 38L batch. Two 5-gallon fermenters, not the FastFermenter. It's too much work to only yield 26L.

It's a decoction mash too, so you need to have a second burner and a s/s pot that will hold up to 10L or so. Try to organize it so that the 2nd burner is close to the mash tun. You will have to carry 10L of hot steaming mash back and forth!

I BOUGHT A NEW S/S pot, with about twice the capacity as my current one so I can do larger decoctions without worry. So consider modifying the steps to start with a larger volume in the mash tun, which would require larger decoctions.

BUY A 3.5 Kw Induction Heater instead of using the gas burner. Safer, easier, and probably faster.

**YEAST**

My preference is ESCARPMENT LABS CZECH LAGER LIQUID YEAST but any true lager yeast could be used.

Set up a starter two days before the brew. It should follow the "Pro Brewer 1.75 lager" setting on the BF Yeast Calculator. Normally a two-step starter is required.

Note: increasing efficiency for this recipe. 55% is too low. For SaltMines5, it predicted 1.049 and I got 1.060. I've set it to 60%
and dropped total grist by .5 Kg.
**GRIST**
Increased it a bunch with salt mines 4, but maybe too much so, as I just said above, I'm dropping it by .5 Kg. Looking to get around 1.052, but I'm still cheating on the high side. Dial it in closer in the future. (SALT MINES 7 was very close to 1.052.)

700g acid malt is what was required for SALT MINES 7 and I still didn't get to 5.2. I've set this master to 700g but monitor this too.

**DECOCTION MASH**

Use mash cheat sheet at google drive in my beer and brewing folder.

Dough in (protein rest) and first decoction
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Bring HLT to 134F and dough in 19L.
* - Strike temp = 122 °F (50 °C). Hold for 10 minutes (maintain until return of first decoction)
* Pull a thick decoction: one-third to one-half the mash; s/s pot is ~80% full and weighs ~ 9.4 (10.9 Kg minus tare of 1.5)
* Heat the decoction to 150°F; hold for 10 minutes
* Heat the decoction to 162°F; hold for 10 minutes
* Heat the decoction to a boil; boil for 20 minutes. ('boil' means visible boil plus 208F thoughout, with lots of stirring.)

Beta Amylase rest and second decoction
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Return the decoction to the mash, strike temp = 144–147°F ; hold 15 minutes (Maintain with HERMS, if necessary, until return of second decoction.)
* Pull a second thick decoction one-quarter of the mash; s/s pot is ~65% full and weighs ~7.5 (9.0 Kg minus tare of 1.5)
* Heat the decoction to 162°F; hold for 10 minutes.
* Heat the decoction to a boil; boil for 10 minutes.

Alpha Amylase rest and mashout
-------------------------------------------------------------
* Return the second decoction to the mash, strike temp = 158°F; hold for 30 minutes.
* Use HERMS to raise temp to mashout 170F
* get a sample before you sparge. (For SaltMines5, the gravity was 1.096 at this point!)
* Sparge and lauter as usual

**HOPS**

Use 450 alpha points (my system - g * AA%) or 16 AAU (BF system - ounces times AA%) or 30 IBU (BF-reported) of a noble hop. Normally Saaz or Hallertau. Ideally, all of those values should line up with the same values.

Do the first wort hopping thing (https://byo.com/article/first-wort-hopping-techniques):
Take a quarter of your bittering hops and toss them in the kettle as soon as there is wort heating in it. Don't wait for it to reach a boil. Throw the rest in when it reaches a boil, and boil for the usual 60 minutes.

**FERMENTATION**
This recipe has occasionally had problems with sluggish fermentations. And DMS issues. Consider krausening in the future as a remedy for such problems. https://byo.com/mr-wizard/krausening-for-homebrewers/

Notes: Use Conan yeast

---------------------------------------------Tasting notes: This beer was awesome - real round taste to expect from the Conan yeast. I also was really into how the simcoe took the stage for the taste.

Served this beer up at thanksgiving at my house and someone left the tap open on accident and lost gallons, super pissed off because it was so good and I only got to have 3 of them. So sad I will have to brew it again.

Notes: Add 3 cups of cold brewed sumatra coffee to secondary.

1/2 cup Starbucks Sumatra blend grounds with 3 cups water. Put in fridge for 24hrs, filter through coffee filter and put in secondary before racking.

Slice 2 vanilla beans down middle, scrape out insides and cut remaining bean shells into very small slices. Put all in small glass baby food jar with New Amsterdam vodka for 24hrs. Pour entire contents into secondary before racking.

NOTICE: Not sanitizing coffee caused this brew to turn into flint water porter. (dumped) nastttyyyyy

Notes: Starter used 1/2 package of dry to build up to 150B cells. Used 80gm DME light in 750ml water. On stir plate for 18 hours.
Starter was prepared 2 days before brew date. Twelve hours before pitching the flask was refrigerated. At pitching 500ml was poured off, remained mixed to suspend yeast, then poured into aerated wort.

Sparge water is distilled.

Need for protein rest is 50:50. Last batch incorporated 10 min and result was excellent. Changing malts and hops and lightening up the water this time, so perhaps the P-rest should stay.

Ok, at last minute decided to do 3 rests at 122F for 10, 140F for 10 and 153F for 45.

Substituted Carahell as I was out of Crystal 10 malt.

Notes: Big starter, get the final gravity down. Use alpha amylase in the mash if you want, to help conversion. And Brutzyme near the end of fermentation to help get that FG down real low.
