I've been a pro brewer for 9 years. I've made hundreds of thousands of litres of IPAs, Double IPAs, countless Hazy Pale Ales and Hazy IPAs, but my go-to beer is a good Pilsner, especially a good NZ Pilsner (it's where I live). Must contain Motueka for that limey goodness, and preferably one other NZ hop. I love to have a 10 minute addition then a whirlpool addition and usually no dry hop. The way the aroma hops react with the lager yeast really brings out that lemony character!

I can't get 34/70 to work for me. I hate it from the depths of my soul and I agree with Nate completely. It was the first yeast I used and it almost got me to quit brewing since the results always were mediocre. It tasted like flowers and green apples no matter how long I gave the yeast to clean up after itself. I thought I was doing something wrong. But when I switched to liquid yeast, my favourite being WLP833, the results were so much better! If I want to make a lager, there is no way I'm using dry yeast.

Big fan of a 5% inclusion of a light caramel malt like IREKS Crystal Birch or Muntons Caramalt 10 which are both around 5L. It helps with head retention like Carapils, but will add a little extra depth of color and flavor subtle sweetness. I’ll use that in my Festbier recipe, but my Pale Lager recipe is 100% Pilsner or a small bit of Carapils. I’ve never had issues making lagers with dry yeast. Weihenstephan is so forgiving. Trying Lallemand Diamond Lager in Amber Lager that is fermenting now.

I haven't made beer for 30+ years now, so am refreshing a bit before starting a nice Porter. About the best beer I made was a Danish Pilsner with crystal malt. I didn't understand at the time that the yeast was lager; which if memory serves, is a bottom slower fermenting yeast. My batch turned out crystal clear, and tasted amazing, but there was WAY too much bubbles. I had to chill the bottles really well, open carefully, and pour very very slowly. Even then I got more head than beer lol The wine and beer store I stopped at, didn't have much for making beer but had a nice Porter kit. I got some dry malt to add, but the kit is malt and grain. I don't think it calls for sugar. All the best beers I made in the past were all malt extract, no sugar except to charge the bottles. The fellow at the store did not understand why I wanted all malt. He insisted that using sugar gave the same results lol He also could not understand what I meant by the Pilsner taking longer to ferment. He says, your thinking of a lager. I'm old enough to know not to bother to correct someone who is certain, and who thinks I apparently learned nothing lol Oh, he had no idea what crystal malt is??? I knew I didn't have enough flip top bottles for this first batch, but this store didn't sell ANY glass bottles, just plastic. I bought a box of green plastic bottles and caps. The sales fellow could not understand my absolute disappointment at having to use plastic bottles??? He also sold me a bottle brush that can not be pushed into beer bottles; I bought another from elsewhere. I will be shopping elsewhere. Online most likely. Update: Made some rookie mistakes with the Porter but it is aging and may turn out ok. Had issues with a yeast taken from a can of Cooper's concentrated wort, that I used for a test ale 2 gallon batch, but I may have fixed it. My current brew is an all malt Dark Ale that for some reason has been very slowly bubbling for two weeks after racking to a carboy. I was getting impatient to bottle, and concerned, so I took a chance and added a few grams of Fermaid O. Within minutes the bubbling was 3 to 4 times as much and a head formed and there were very visible bubbles from the bottom on up. I hope this was not a mistake, but the yeast was clearly hungry lol I now have BIAB gear and several malt grains. My cold rooms are now cold enough to do Lager/Pilsner. I like the advise you gave here. It will help. I will be doing my own thing though, trying to make a better Pilsner than I did 30+ years back; and that one was very tasty. If there is bad news, it is that I made all dark ales so far and they all need aging. Now I am planning to do a Pilsner which also takes awhile. I have nothing ready to drink! lol Good thing I do not drink much, what?

In other words do these ones need a higher temperature to express themselves properly 2) What are your ideal PH targets at various stages? Starting kettle PH, Post Boil PH, post fermentation PH? I've read that acid additions in the boil can be beneficial 3) if one wanted to make an Italian dry hopped pilsner, what generally should be the hopping rates in whirlpool & dry hop

Great video and I appreciate the focus on simplicity. I've used acid malt on several light lagers I've done and was curious if there is a percentage level you could identify that tends to adds tartness to the finished beer.

10C then 12C for diacetyl rest. I find that kind of low - at my brewery we do 10-12 then 18 for D-rest. You want to turn it up about 2/3 through fermentation, it'll take a few days to get up there. If it doesn't reach 18 it's not the end of the world, but it should be clear of diacetyl in 14 to 16 days and ready to crash. I've also heard of other brewers brewing at 10 and just leaving it there. Takes much longer but I believe at that temp it doesn't really develop any D at all. Depends on how patient you are. I've never tried it myself bc we don't have the luxury of that much time.

@treehousebrewco9 ай бұрын
I could make a few educated guesses... A beer turns out the way that it does due to a series of choices the brewer makes. Poor assumptions about lager beer are common and those less versed in expectations probably don't hop them to the level that would be stylistically appropriate in Germany. If we wish to make a beer that is less sweet and more bitter, we can mash lower and use a larger hop charge. Or we can use a higher attenuating yeast. So many tools in the arsenal!

Used to brew Pilsners, named them Zilsner, you guys are welcome to use the name I didn’t copyright it.

He goes into what his ideal Mexican lager would look like in the parallel blind tasting of multiple Mexican lagers video; you have to read between the lines, but...

Can you address 'conventional wisdom' that using straight distilled water is not good? I tend to start with distilled or RO and add minimal salts to get an appropriate mineral profile for lagers but never tried it without any mineral additions.

They say distilled won't supply needed minerals for healthy fermentation etc .

I can't speak as the be all end all authority, but I've made lager with distilled water and it turned out completely fine and fermented to expected attenuation. You pick up a lot of minimality from barley itself, which almost no one talks about

@@treehousebrewcoThanks for the comments! Good point about mash providing needed nutrients for yeast - maybe barley knows what it's doing?!

You CAN use distilled water, and Pilsen water is pretty close to distilled. Lots of folks say that both the mash and the yeast should have a minimum of 50 ppm Calcium, but the grist will give you 35 ppm Calcium by itself. Calcium helps provide heat tolerance to the amylase enzymes, so there might be something said to targeting 50 ppm Calcium to keep the Beta activity up to dry the beer out as much as you can; 50 ppm is also stated as the ideal minimum for yeast health and it's important to flocculation. -It might take longer to get the yeast to flocculate without it. Is also hard to get the pH low enough with just distilled water and 100% Pilsner malt in the grist without any added calcium; either calcium or that 2-3% acidulated malt will help get the mash pH in range. (Play with it in your brewing calculator and you should see it.) Czech brewers don't use acid, acid malt, nor salts; they rely upon the decoctions to drive the pH down into the ideal range. (Yes, decoction boils pull down the pH, too.)
