hi everyone, I’m going to attempt my first Pilsner and I’m super excited. However, I’m having a hard time finding what I could use to keep the fermentation at 50 degrees or cooler. I live in South Texas and i brew 1 gallon batches. So I can’t brew it outside, I don’t have a basement and my fridge seems too cold to brew the Pilsner
soooo:
1. any one have any advice on what I can do to ferment the Pilsner at lower temperatures?
2. what’s the ideal ferment time for the Pilsner?
3. Is This recipe ok for my first Pilsner? I put it together based on a Pilsner I used to drink when I lived in the PNW, Pfriem’s Pilsner. It seems tasty
Steeping Grains
2oz - German Pilsner malt
1.3oz - Carafoam malt
1.3oz - acidualted malt
Extract:
1lb Pilsen DME
Hops:
.10oz- Perle (60 minutes)
.16oz - Saphir (10 minutes)
.20oz - tettnager (15 minutes)
.20oz - spalt (2 minutes)
thanks!
