My first pilsner, very happy with the results (although i "clearly" forgot to add gelatine when kegging).
Pure Weyermann Barke pilsner malt, Hallertauer Mittlefruh and 34/70. So i guess a SMASH pilsner

Very nice.  I really like that Weyermann Barke Pils.  Sounds like my kind of beer.  Cheers.

Yeah, I've not used it before, but it is definitely not the last time

More of this Tipopils before it's gone...



Looks great as usual Ken! Can you give me any tips on the recipe? I make pretty hoppy pilsners and have been curious about these guys.
On Tap/Bottled: IPL, Adjunct Vienna, Golden Stout, Honey Lager

There is a longish thread on it HERE on a small board I set up earlier this year.  Denny has mentioned it on his podcast a few times (Thanks Denny).  I extend an invitation to any and all here who would like to participate there.  We could use some new members.  On the beer itself, it's the Birrificio Italiano Tipopils and I believe there is a link to an article from the brewer.  There is also a snip of the recipe I brewed which is slightly different from the original.  Firestone Walker's brewer Matt Bryndleson (sp?) was inspired by this beer and created Pivo Pils, another delicious beer.  There is a lot of info in that thread... plenty to get you set up to make the beer.  Cheers.

Thanks Ken! My pils uses a bit more hops so it looks like I just need to move some additions around I think.

I have not had the chance to try Tipopils.  I don't think it's available here.  I have been having a hard time finding Pivo Pils lately but it seemed to be much hoppier than this similar version I tried to make.  Also, if you find the link where the BEER & BREWING article is located, the original brewer of Tipopils lays out the recipe and it's all pilsner malt plus something like 1.4 ounces of CaraMunich.  Very strange.  I did it that way but with some of the LO processes in place the color of my beers has been very pale.  I don't think I had enough depth in my grain bill and the beer finished quite dry... 1.006 or so.  So in the future I might add a bit of Munich 1 or something and then rethink the hopping... I did not get as much as Pivo Pils.  This is the fun of it... dialing it in.  Cheers.

I do love me some Pivo Pils. My goal is just to do something in that direction but with my own flare and processes.

Okay, I apologize.  I have already posted this beer but last night was the last pint and then the keg blew.  This is my Tipopils again and it's gone.  This is the last pint (and yes I filtered this photo in honor of how good the beer was).  Tipopils, we hardly knew ye...

maybe its the lighting, but this seems dark for barke pils. This is an all Barke pils of mine after a few weeks of lagering,

Lightning and condensation, would be my guess

Isn’t it amazing how so few ingredients synergistically transforms into a fine beer.

It’ll clear soon.  Cheers!
