2023 German Pilsner

Brewed 10/27/23. Took the afternoon off to make it. Started before 1 and finished by 4:30, aside from some cleaning. Maybe record time for me. Final beer of the year. 

OG 1.042-43. Brew software estimated 1.048. I used floor malted Bohemian Pilsner which I think I’ve read can lead to lower extract yield. 


Kegged 11/6/23. FG 1.012. 


I don’t remember much about this beer. It was good, but not so good that it was memorable. It cleared well with whirlfloc only and no gelatin. 



8.5 floor malted pils. 


1 oz of Halletau Mittelfruh (2.9 AA) at 60, 30, and 5 minutes. 


6 grams gypsum in sparge water. Otherwise no water modifications. 


Omega Oktoberfest yeast.
