Hi All,
I am planning on brewing my first lager this weekend. I think I have a decent understanding of the process. But I am a little unsure about my yeast starter; which will also be a first for me.
Below is the recipe I am using. I plan on making a 2 Liter starter using the Munich Lager Wyeast 125ml smack pack for this.
Does this starter size sound right?
While I am asking, how do I calculate what my OG for this recipe could/should be?
RECIPE-
6lbs Pilsner Malt extract
Steep: 12 oz German Munich Malt (8L)
8 oz German Light Crystal
8 oz Aromatic
Hops: 1/2 oz Hallertauer Hersbrucker at 60 min
1/2 oz Spalter at 60 min
If desired, throw some 1/2 oz hersbrucker or spalter in at 5 minutes
Yeast: Munich Lager (Wyeast)
Thanks in advance for the help.
