    I tend to step more, 50' 63' 72' & mashout at 78'. The 50' is a protein rest, you can even add an acid rest at 25' to 38' for 10 mins. It mirrors a decoction mash, without the separating and boiling drama. :)

    You can always substitute it with a kveik yeast, it makes a cracking lager

    I'm currently drinking my way through my keg of SmellsLagery! and can't wait to brew this one when I recommence brewing (outdoors) in the Spring. Much as I enjoy brewing and drinking ales I find German and Czech lagers to be the nearest thing to perfection.

    • @DudesBrews

      Great to hear you are enjoying that recipe! I think I do get the most satisfaction out of a successful lager brew even though I still love doing big hoppy pales and IPAs!

    Made me thirsty! Alot of hops for a pilsner? Keep the keg for summer - proper lagered then.. 😂

    • @DudesBrews
      @DudesBrews  7 місяців тому +1

      Followed the hopping rate from the Mean Brews video so should be consistent with what other people are doing for competition beers but that might be a bit higher compared to similar commercial recipes etc, tbh I think I could have gone a bit higher with the hops and still been in style but the noble varieties are always pretty subtle. No chance its lasting til summer even if it is cold 😂🍻

    Looks like a smashing pils! Is there any improvements you can think of?

    • @DudesBrews
      @DudesBrews  7 місяців тому +1

      I think it could take an even bigger whirlpool addition and I would also like to try some alternative hops and maybe using whole leaf as I see a lot of traditional breweries swear by them. Not sure if those would be improvements but definitely something to experiment with!

    Great video, ordered the kit from the malt miller. Going to have a go at making my first yeast starter. You mentioned your starter is 2.3L, do you pour the whole thing into the fermenter or do you tip off the wort and just pour in the yeast? Also what temperature do you keep the starter at while it starts to ferment?

    • @DudesBrews
      @DudesBrews  3 місяці тому +1

      Hope it goes well for you! I ferment the starter at room temperature, when it is no longer showing activity allow to settle (chill if you want to speed this up) and just before pitching gently pour off most of the liquid, I leave roughly 500ml in the flask which I then swirl the yeast up with and pitch. If you have chilled the starter down then let it warm up slightly before pitching to avoid temperature shock for the yeast
