Notes

Attempt at a Steinlager Clone.

No water additions - we are blessed with fairly soft water here in Hamilton, NZ and it works really good with Pils/Lager beers.

Pressure fermented at 25C and 25 PSI - ready to keg after 5 days.

This beer is pretty well what I was after. Clean, dry, crispy grainy flavour with a nice bouquet of floral hops. Put up against a bottle of Steinlager Classic, its not too far off the mark. Maybe a little less Gladiator would reduce the distinct grainy flavour. Could experiment with hops varieties - Saaz, Hallertau etc.
