Notes
Adapted from the Kellerbier recipe in the fantastic book Homebrew Handbook by Dave Law and Beshlie Grimes.
Adjusted for New Zealand malts and hops.
Motueka or Riwaka should be a good NZ equivalent to the specified Saaz hops.
Pacifica should be a reasonable equivalent to Hallertauer Hersbrucker hops.
Could use Saflager 34/70 yeast and considered Kolsch k-97(ale) but settled on the Novalager4 because it's a) in stock and b) god to try.
Reduced LME from 1.8 to 1.5Kg.
Check head - maybe try carapils instead of chit malt next time.
Again, due to Hop availability. I'll substitute:
Motueka for Saaz for bittering
Wakatu for Hallertau hersbrucker for aroma
And keep the IBUs the same or slightly higher than the original 20 IBUs (increased to 28 IBU)
Increased DME from 550 to 750 g to compensate - stock availability of LME.
150g Torrified wheat swapped for 150g chit malt - head retention.
Brew turned out well, but a little roasty tasting for me, next time I will swap out the chocolate malt for something softer and a little sweeter.
Also a little more carbonation would be nice.
