Notes

Using some Barke Vienna, a heritage variety more highly kilned than most pilsner malt. Pilsner Urquell has its own maltings, according to reading they kiln according to the old English style, which suggests that their malt is kilned more similarly to English ale malts than to modern pilsner malts (ie darker). Rest at 35-40 C before Double decoction with long decoction boiling times (30-45 minutes) to create that caramel base and darker colour without too much sweetness. Mash in low (62-64 degrees C) for a dry beer. Very soft water, manage mash pH well, around 5.3 for a crisp finish.
