Session Czech lager
« on: May 14, 2015, 05:31:57 pm »
I read an article recently in one of "the mags" on such a lager and found it interesting. I needed to step some yeast, WLP 833 for a Munich Dunk and thought I would through a recipe together. It is surprising tasty. Kinda between a Munich helles and a Czech pils.  Think I would drop the Carared next time to see the difference.
OG 1.041
FG 1.010
83% German pils
7% Vienna
5% Carared
5% white wheat

German tradition 17.7 Ibus at 60min
Sazz 5.4 Ibus at 30 min
Sazz 3.8 Ibus at 10 min
Sazz 2 Ibus WP x 10 min.

Mashed at 154F
Boil 90min.
WLP 833 bock yeast.
O and I am impatient drinking at 3 weeks:) no probs with low gravity and good fermentation.

Same yeast as I use. I have used a few different lager yeasts and 833 seems to be the one I like best. I use 5% Munich ( 6 L ) instead of Vienna. Just me though. With a lighter gravity, does it still taste like a Pils? I have never gone lower that 1.050.
