Step by Step
Crush the roasted barley very fine. Run it through a coffee mill or use a rolling pin to turn it almost to dust. That is critical to getting the right flavor and color with this recipe. Mill the remaining grains as normal and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.5 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 120 °F (49 °C). Hold the mash at 120 °F (49 °C) for 15 minutes then raise the temperature to 148 °F (64 °C) until enzymatic conversion is complete. Raise the temperature to mash out at 168 °F (76 °C). Sparge slowly with 170 °F (77 °C) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 6.5 gallons (24.4 L) and the gravity is 1.032 (8 °P).

The total wort boil time is 90 minutes. Add the bittering hops with 60 minutes remaining in the boil. Add Irish moss or other kettle finings and the last hop addition with 15 minutes left in the boil. Chill the wort rapidly to 69 °F (21 °C), let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter, pitch the yeast and aerate thoroughly.

Ferment at 69 °F (21 °C). Slowly raise the temperature during the final 1⁄3 of fermentation by 6 °F (3 °C) to reduce diacetyl levels in the beer. When finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 1 to 1.5 volumes and serve at 52 to 55 °F (11 to 13 °C).

Notes: Classic American Pilsner
(5 gallons/19 L, extract only)
OG = 1.060 (14.7 °P)
FG = 1.014 (3.6 °P)
IBU = 35 SRM = 4 ABV = 6%

Ingredients
6 lb. Pilsner liquid malt extract
2.2 lb. Rice RME
6.5 AAU Czech Saaz hops
(1.87 oz./53 g at 3.5% alpha acids) (60 min.)
3.5 AAU Czech Saaz hops
(1 oz./28 g of 3.5% alpha acids) (15 min.)
3.5 AAU Czech Saaz hops
(1 oz./28 g of 3.5% alpha acids) (0 min.)
White Labs WLP800 (Pilsner Lager) or Wyeast 2001 (Urquell) yeast

Step by Step
I have used a number of Pilsner-type extracts, all with success. Always choose the freshest extract that fits the beer style. If you cannot get fresh liquid malt extract, use an appropriate amount of dried extract instead. Using fresh extract is very important to this style. Finding high maltose rice or corn syrups can be difficult in smaller quantities, but some homebrew shops do carry them. Alternatively, you could use
dextrose in place of the syrup. Ideally, you would do a partial mash with corn or leave this style to all-grain.

Add enough water to the malt extract to make a pre-boil volume of 5.9 gallons (22.3 liters) and the gravity is 1.051 (12.6 °P). Stir the wort thoroughly to help dissolve the extract and bring to a boil.

Once the wort is boiling, add the bittering hops. The total wort boil time is 1 hour after adding the first hops. Add Irish moss or other kettle finings and the second hop addition with 15 minutes left in
the boil. Add the last hop addition just before shutting off the burner. Chill the wort rapidly to 50 °F
(10 °C), let the break material settle, rack to the fermenter, pitch the yeast and aerate thoroughly.

You will need to pitch 4 packages of fresh yeast or make a large starter to have enough yeast to best ferment this beer. You might consider first brewing a small batch of lower gravity Munich helles or something similar to grow up the yeast you need. Once you have pitched enough clean, healthy yeast, ferment at 50 °F (10 °C). When fermentation is finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 2.5 volumes.

Notes: Steps

Take yeast out of fridge 3 hours before pitching.

Bring the wort to 140 degrees, add 5g salt and 1g coriander, and then turn the heat off (heat for 5-15 minutes).

Transfer a portion of the wort to a starter flask.
Pitch WLP644 Trois when temp is at 70°.

Leave remaining wort in kettle.
Adjust PH ~4.2 to limit growth Clostridium butyricum and other potential off-flavor bacteria. Add 2 ml of lactic acid.
Chill the wort down to 95°.
Add 5 oz of Goodbelly Mango drink.
Cover with blankets.
Allow it to sour for 24 hours. No external heating is required.
Target PH: 3.6 - 3.8

After the souring phase, heat to kill the Lactobacillus before adding the WLP644 Trois for 5-15 minutes at 140 degrees.
Chill the Lactobacillus wort down to ~70°F and pitch WLP644 Trois.

After 2 weeks a stable gravity should be reached.
Rack or transfer off as normal to bottles or a keg.

Goodbelly: 8oz per 5 gallons = 1.6oz per gallon X 3 gallons = 4.8 oz (5 oz)
Salt: 0.5oz per gallon - 0.0625 per gallon X 3 gallons = 0.1875oz (5.315g)
Corriander: 1oz per gallon = 0.125 per gallon X 3 gallons = 0.375 (10g) - cut by 50% to 5g
Lactic acid: Using 1 mL of 88% lactic acid per .1 shift in pH for 5 gallons of wort is a good starting measurement. As an example, say that 5 gallons of wort has a pH of 5.0 just before pitching the Lactobacillus culture. Begin by adding 5 mL (1 US teaspoon) of food grade lactic acid to the wort for a target of ~4.4 pH.
