A Journey Into Czech Lager | Can we Home Brew A Czech Lager? | The Malt Miller

- We are very happy to share part 4 of this amazing project! In May 2022 Rakey and Jim spent a week with the team from @Budějovický Budvar in the Czech Republic.
This was a chance for them to immerse themselves into the world of Czech lager, which they both adore. It was also a chance to learn from the masters of brewing this style which couldn't be missed.
This final chapter in the story sees Martin test out his home brew recipe and method for this double decocted brew!! We will also see a side by side taste test of the finished beer to see just how close we got to the real thing!
You can also grab the kit now to have a go at brewing this beer yourself, including all the instructions you will need! The first 30 people to buy the kit will also be entered into a prize draw to win a host of goodies and a LUKR tap!!

We'll have other events and discussions over the coming months on the subject of Czech lager, so be sure to follow our socials to get involved and learn more.
Na zdraví 🍻

My joint favourite, along with Pilsner Urquell 🍻
Amazing Series, Thank You for Malt Miller and Budvar for covering the best beer in the world ! 🤗
Great, great series. But those green bottles ! Kind of undoes a lot of the good processes !
Glad you enjoyed the series! We loved making it!! They have recently invested in the massive canning line which means more and more of the capacity is moving in that direction.
Great Video series. Well done lads.
Great series!! I was curious how you will handle the decoction. This is the best kind of using the grainfather I can think of. I'll start with a single decoction first to get used to the method. Greetings from Germany.
Amazing, would more in depth video on the double decoction mash during the brew day
Great series. Keep it up. ❤
This was a great series of videos, thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Well done to everyone involved. Cheers 🍻
So pleased you enjoyed it!!!
Really good series, please do more! I'm brewing a czech pilsner soon once it gets a bit colder outside, will not be doing the decoction this time but will definitely try in the future when I have time 🙂
Fantastic. Thank you. Request you to please post the brewfather recipe as well.
The recipe is available on the Grainfather app and full details on the product page if you wish to add it manually to other platforms. 👍🏻
@@themaltmiller8438 Fantastic. Thank you so much. Will go look for it.
Great series, throughly enjoyed it, thank you 🍺🍺
Hey Lance !!!!
Great series. I'm inspired. Kit is ordered 👍 Will try my best, looks really difficult, but keen on trying a different method. Need to watch this back to fully understand the decoction process, as it flew way over my head 😂. Cheers 🍻
Your kit will have full instructions included 👍🏻😉
Great series! The water profile on the kit you’re selling is different then ones I’ve seen online, did you get that water profile from the guys at Budvar? 🍺
Thanks for a great series guys!
Question: regarding carbonation. Was it naturally achieved during fermentation and lagering by spunding at any stage?
Or was forced carbonation used afterwards, and what is the target level of carbonation ? ie: 2.4 vol
Really pleased you enjoyed it! We force carbonated the beer but we are planning trials of another batch and naturally carbonating it, also we’re trying out an infusion mash recipe soon
You can do either, Budvar natural carb it, we weren’t using a pressure vessel so had to force carb.
More info on the recipe kit about being able to both.
I grew up in Czech during communism and the beer was so much better back then. Now all the breweries have been bought by foreign giants and they all taste the same. I think only Budvar is still Czech. That's why I make my own and buy ingredients from you guys 🍻
Thank you very informative.
I have a question: do you lager in the fermenter with the trub still inside? For 3 months?
Depends on the FV you have, if you have a conical and can dump the yeast and rub then yes you can do this, if not then no. This being said we actually transferred to a keg for the maturation period, it could then just sit in the fridge
Wow! just ordered my first grain system. I can see many easier brews being done before attempting this one.
Can you tell me what the small pot system components are that are used to hold the constant temperature, please?
Yeah, we used one of our smaller stainless steel kettles on an induction hob. The controller is an Inkbird, which can manage the heating side of things for you and switch on the element/hob when it needs to boost the temp. The only thing to note is that it is limited on the wattage you can use. Ideally around 2kw, no more.
@@themaltmiller8438 Thanks for the reply. I have a green WiFi model Inkbird that I used for fermenting, I'll have to see if it can happily sit in hot fluids for decent aamount of time. Cheers.
I was gonna buy the recipe to Try but then I remembered I can't even get a head on my stouts 🙃🙃🙃
😂 it’s all a journey, give it a go and see how you get on. Time and cleaning are the most important factors with this recipe 👍🏻
Go with 72c mash out step before you sparge just raise temp of the mash, that will help you with head retention
If you do a Protein Rest at 122 for 20 minutes this builds up proteins thus head retention.
