Notes: 6 days before...
Need to make a 2 L yeast starter. Use Proppa Pitch wort.
WATER PREPARATION
Total volume of needed water is 8.4 Gallons. Dilute filtered Carencro Municipal water by 20%.
Distilled Water
1.68 US gallons
Add all minerals and acid now. Check pH.
Initial pH of brewing water: 6.76
Note: Measuring pH here is just for the record. The important thing is the benchmark pH taken 10 to 20 minutes after the mash is underway.
______________________________________________________________________
Brew Day...
MASH-IN
Equipment pump is turned off; all water is in kettle and not yet in hoses.
Heat mash water to 155 deg F. Remember, the pump is NOT on at this time!
Initial water temp: 77 deg F
Mash temp stabilizes at: 152 deg F
TURN OFF HEAT! Make sure the heat is turned off!
Quickly add all crushed grains to 155 deg F water, and stir rapidly. When temp is stabilized at 152 deg F, put lid on kettle. THEN, Open system, START PUMP, to allow water to flow AT A SLOW RATE through hoses for an additional 5 minutes. Liquid will recirculate through the mash AND by whirlpool, due to configuration of the 3-way valve.
______________________________________________________________________
Saccharification Rest (60 min)
Saccharification rest begins now. Water is now flowing and recirculation needs to be set at about 0.5 gal/min flow rate. Monitor flow rate so it stays about this level.
Mash pH is taken 10 minutes after this rest begins.
Mash pH after mash-in (10 min): ________
If needed, adjust pH to 5.4.
Acid added? YES or NO. If yes, how much ___________
_____________________________________________________
For the record...
Near the end of the 60 min (about 50 min), take pH reading.
pH reading near end of mash: ______________
Adjusted pH (if necessary): ____________
____________________________________________________________________
Vorlauf/Mash-Out
With recirculation and heat still going, raise temp of recirculating mash to 168 deg F.
ADD DARK GRAINS NOW.
Hold temperature here for the 15 minute duration.
For the last 5 minutes of the Vorlauf, slow down the flow rate to a minimal amount, to allow grains to completely settle.
______________________________________________________________________
RAISING THE GRAIN BASKET
Lift grain basket from kettle and securely hang to pot, using the attachments provided. Allow to completely drain, may be 5 minutes or more.
Then transfer basket to hang on a bucket so the remaining liquid may drain, while wort in the kettle is heating up for the boil.
After 5 minutes, transfer wort that drained into the bucket to kettle with wort and continue raising temp to a boil.
_____________________________________________________________________
BOIL
FIRST, MEASURE PRE-BOIL pH AND PRE-BOIL GRAVITY.
PRE-BOIL pH: ________
PRE-BOIL GRAVITY: ___________
With Brew Commander set for the boil program, it's time to begin.
BOIL
With power at 100%, begin raising temperature to boiling, monitoring carefully. When boiling commences, lower power to 85%, and lower than that if necessary.
Add First addition hop addition at this time.
When it appears that there is no danger of boil over, allow boiling to continue for the 60 minute duration. Continue to monitor throughout the boil.
20 minutes to End of Boil
Add Five Star® Super Moss. Make sure to use 1/3 tsp Super Moss.
10 minutes to End of Boil
Second hop addition. ADD SERVOMYCES.
End of Boil
SHUT OFF HEATER.
______________________________________________________________________
WHIRLPOOL
The whirlpool step is like a moving "hop stand."
Terminator Wort Chiller is in place with hoses and 3-way valve, which is set to send wort through chiller and then through whirlpool setup. Do the following steps...
Cool down to as cold as you can get it. Use ice chiller if needed. Now, it's time to transfer wort to fermentor.
_____________________________________________________________________
Oxygenation/Transfer to Fermenter
With all oxygenation set up and transfer hoses in place, via 3-way valve transfer wort to fermenter as it is being oxygenated. When done, close fermenter, then prepare to pitch the yeast.
_____________________________________________________________________
PITCHING THE YEAST
Add the decanted yeast culture to the fermentor. Carefully maintain sanitation.
NEW! ADDITION OF BREWZYME-D
BrewZyme-D, a product from White Labs, facilitates the conversion of acetyolactate in the fermenting wort to acetoin, an odorless, tasteless chemical, instead of diacetyl.
After pitching yeast, add one 10 ml vial of BrewZyme-D to the fermentor and swirl the fermentor to mix.
TILT HYDROMETER
Drop the SANITIZED Tilt Hydrometer into the fermenter. This is how you will monitor fermentation temperature and gravity as beer ferments.
Maintain fermentation temperature of 62 deg F until gravity drops to 1.015, then raise it up to 70 deg F for 2 days. GOAL IS FOR GRAVITY TO DROP TO 1.015.
___________________________________________
CRASH COOL THE FERMENT
Slowly, over several days days, lower temperature of ferment to about 58 deg F. Lower over 4 days so at the end, temperature is at 35 deg F.
Hold at 34-35 deg F or lower, but not lower than 35 deg F. Hold here for at least 3 days.
___________________________________________
TRANSFER TO KEG
Using oxygen-free techniques, transfer beer from fermenter to sanitary, oxygen purged keg. First, transfer the dose of gelatin finings to the keg. Then, start transferring from fermentor.
MOVE TO NEW KEG
About 3 days after adding gelatin finings to beer, transfer to another 5 gal sanitized keg, or two 2.5 gallon sanitized kegs.
___________________________________________
CARBONATE BEER
Using the Blichmann Quick Carb, carbonate to 2.25 vol (medium level carbonation).

Notes: this is a rehash of my NZ Raw Pils (which i did not boil) For this one I will boil the wort as normal and see how good it is. My guess is that in the end it will be about the same but in the beginning it will be more normal than the raw version was (really corney for a month or so)
Axing the DME for all 2row grain this time.
making more grain adjustments to account for volume loss.
will leave hop schedule the same. hop utilization will probably be better but not sure how i can calculate how much and adjust accordingly.....maybe possible though....
Mash as 158 again.
day before brew day i combined some recycled yeast and starter wort at room temp. got a little activity (usually takes longer for recycled yeast).
on brew day I chilled wort down to about 80 and just pitched and added to fermentor (forgetting the wort had to get down to 55 instead of 70) also i forgot that for pilsner ideally you need about twice as many yeast cells to start with (because they multiply less/slower at the lower fermentation temperatue).
so for next time i should start the starter a week or maybe even more ahead of time and end up adding two portions of wort starter (one at a time maybe). also be sure to chill the wort down to 55 before pitching?
here are some pilsner tips from allaboutbeer.com
1. Ensure that fermentation conditions (48-55 degrees F) can be met and stay well within the temperature boundaries of the yeast.
2. Chill wort to primary fermentation temperature before pitching yeast.
3. Maintain good wort aeration to get out of the gate strongly.
4. Prepare a yeast starter about twice as large as that for top-fermented beers, and optimally refresh that starter on brew day.
5. Perform a diacetyl rest (65-68 degrees F for 2 days) near the end of primary fermentation.
6. Lager for a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks, starting at 50 degrees F and dropping gradually over a few days to near freezing.
7. If bottling, prime with fresh yeast to ensure thorough conditioning. |
