- Light and dry on the back end. Some sauv blanc fruit flavours.
11# Pilsner Malt (2SRM)
2.4oz Nelson Sauvin hops (11.3%AA)
Mashed in 165F water (treated with Camden tablets) for 75 minutes.
Fly-sparged with 6 gallons of 168F water.
Began boiling, with following hop schedule:
75min 0.25oz
60min 0.12oz
45min 0.25oz
30min 0.25oz
15min 0.25oz
5min 0.25oz
0min 1.00oz
It cooled ambiently then I just pitched the packages of yeast; didn't worry about a starter.

First real pilsner I've made with an actual lagering process, relying on cold winter temps. I truly loved it, as did a lot of the company I had over last weekend. After bottling some for competitions and for local homebrew group to sample next month, there's not a lot left.
The images show a pint along with the hydrometer; just kegged so it was a very fresh, uncarbonated glass. The second image is from last night...part of my run recovery regimen!
