Notes: Mill the grains and mash in at 131°F (55°C) for 10 minutes. Raise to 146°F (63°C) and rest 30 minutes, then to 152°F (67°C) and rest 30 minutes. The do one decoction: Pull about one-third of the mash, bring it to a boil for 20 minutes (while stirring constantly), then reunite the mash and rest 15 minutes. Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. After the boil, do a whirlpool step: Add the flameout hops, stir or recirculate to create a vortex for 5 minutes, then allow 15 minutes to steep. Chill to 46°F (8°C), aerate the wort, and pitch a healthy yeast starter. Ferment at 48°F (9°C). If possible, attach a spunding valve when the gravity is ~1.020 for natural carbonation. When fermentation is complete and gravity has been stable for 3 days, do a forced diacetyl test (see “Hunting for Diacetyl,” beerandbrewing.com). If clear, gradually lower the temperature over 4–5 days to 40°F (4°C), then rack to secondary or keg for lagering. Lager at 32°F (0°C) for at least 4 weeks. Package and carbonate to 2.5–2.6 volumes of CO2.
BREWER’S NOTES
We love this beer and have been making it for several years. If you can do both decoction and spunding, you will get a really nice beer—but of course, you can also brew a good lager with single infusion (in that case, try 152°F/67°C for 75 minutes). If you have the equipment and the time, make a yeast starter of 1.5–2 liters. If you pitch enough healthy yeast, there’s no need for a diacetyl rest. |

Notes: 5A. German Leichtbier
Overall Impression: A pale, highly-attenuated, light-bodied
German lager with lower alcohol and calories than normalstrength beers. Moderately bitter with noticeable malt and hop
flavors, the beer is still interesting to drink.
Aroma: Low to medium hop aroma, with a spicy, herbal, or
floral character. Low to medium-low grainy-sweet or slightly
crackery malt aroma. Clean fermentation profile.
Appearance: Straw to pale gold in color. Brilliant clarity.
Moderate white head with average to below average
persistence.
Flavor: Low to medium grainy-sweet malt flavor initially.
Medium hop bitterness. Low to medium hop flavor, with a
spicy, herbal, or floral quality. Clean fermentation character,
well-lagered. Dry finish with a light malty and hoppy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Light to very light body. Medium to high
carbonation. Smooth, well-attenuated.
Comments: Marketed primarily as a diet-oriented beer with
lower carbohydrates, alcohol, and calories. Pronounced
“LYESHT-beer.” May also be known as a Diat Pils or Helles,
this style is in the schankbier gravity class. Other variations of
Leicht class beers can be made from Weissbier, Kölsch, and
Altbier; those beers are best entered in the Mixed-Style Beer
category.
History: Traditional versions existed as drinks for physical
laborers in factories or fields, but modern versions are more
based on popular American products in the same class.
Characteristic Ingredients: Similar to a German Pils or
Helles, continental Pils malt, German lager yeast, Saazer-type
hops.
Style Comparison: Like a lower-alcohol, lighter-bodied,
slightly less aggressive German Pils or Helles.
Vital Statistics: OG: 1.026 – 1.034
IBUs: 15 – 28 FG: 1.006 – 1.010
