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

Notes: Kettle Sour Steps

Starter
-Create a starter with 200 g DME, 2L of filtered tap water, and a pinch of yeast nutrient.
-Add 1/2 tsp 88% lactic acid (should get pH down < 4.5).
-Chill to ~110ºF, add 2 cups uncrushed rye malt.
-Top the starter off with carbonated water. This will purge oxygen and reduce headspace.
-Cap flask with airlock. This will ensure the aerobic competitors do not get the oxygen they need to produce off-flavors.
-Keep the starter as warm as you can (~110ºF is best) for 2-3 days. Strain then pitch directly into wort.

Mash
-Mash in, collect wort, and reduce pH to 4.0-4.3.
-Boil for 15 min (no hops!).
-Cool to 100F and pitch starter.
-Purge headspace with CO2, cover w/ Press'n Seal plastic wrap.
-Hold as close to 90-100F for 24-48 hours.
-Check pH in 24 hours, hold for additional time (if necessary) until pH is 3.2-3.6
-Once desired pH is reached, complete boil and continue as normal.

Notes: Duvel clone

This recipe requires a temperature controlled fermentation environment as the process ramps and cools the ambient during the fermentation cycle.

Cycle is:
Fermentation - 2 weeks
Lager - 2 weeks
Bottle carb - 2 weeks
Cold cellar - 6 weeks

Set aside 8oz of sugar in the recipe for the dosage, use explained below.

Use a soft water profile.

Primary - Initial
Start at 68F and after lag phase hold for 2 days then ramp temperature 2 deg/day to 78F. This first phase of fermentation should take about a week.

Primary - Dosage
Reduce temp to 72F and add the dosage(1gram yeast nutrient + 8-12oz sugar dissolved in 160 deg water and held at temp for 15 min) to primary. This will start an additional fermentation and keep in primary for additional week. Total primary fermentation time should be around 2 weeks. Adding the dosage will dry out the beer which will get the yeast to an 88-90% attenuation which is important for the style. The recipe has the dosage included the fermetables for total OG value calculation.

Lager
Rack to secondary if desired. Lager at 48F moving to 34F for 2 weeks.

Bottle
Use bottles rated for 4 - 4.5 volumes of CO2. Prime for this CO2 level.

Add 1 packet of dry champagne yeast(or other yeast with a neutral profile) proofed for 30 minutes to batch along with priming sugar for bottling.

Hold at 75F for 2 weeks for carbonation.
Cellar cold for additional 4-6 weeks to mature.
