Notes

I got this recipe from a few different sources, the main one was a recipe from a brewclub that were shown by Bill Covaleski a brewer for Victory how to make Prima. For awhile there was a shot online of the ingredient sheet, that wasnt supposed to circulate, the link to the recipe is below. Also I used replacement hops for Sladek, I got those from other clone recipes and the Victory website. Some people recommended doing a decoction mash, but I read conflicting reports on Victory's use of this technique, mash scheule below

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/forum/threads/victory-prima-pils-recipe-from-brewer.461206/

Technically the hops are supposed to be whole leaf, but good luck finding whole leaf saaz and hallertaur hops around Humbodlt. The original recipe called for Sladek hops but I cant source these. So the subtitution is more saaz and hallertauer

Dough in @ 122 F (4.1 gallon watter assuming 1.2 qts/lb)

Protein Rest 20 min (pH should be 5.2-5.3)
Increase mash temp to 149 F (add 6.08 gallons at 210)
Sacc Rest 60 min
Recirculation through 155 degree water.
Sparge at 170 F until 7.5 - 8 gal
Boil 90 min (add hops per schedule)
Chill to 60 Degrees
Ferment at 50-55 degreees
Lager for 4 weeks 34-38 Degrees F
