Additional Info:

Mash temps are as follows:
30m - 30m - 30m step decoction mash 122F - 147F - 156F and then fly sparge at 170F

This was my first try at a decoction mash and I miss calculated my boiling volume and my mash schedule turned out at 30m - 60m, 122F -154F respectively.

I am currently a couple days away from bottling and then three weeks later I will finally get to try it.

I hope I didn't leave any key information out but the questions I have on this recipe are if I choose to enter it into a local competition what style should I enter, I think its between an American and bohemian style pilsner though I'm not sure which one it more closely fits.

If any one more experience than me (90% of brewers on this site) sees any glaring mistakes in this description or has any advice please let me here it. Trying to become a better brewer myself. Thanks

not sure Bohemian Pilsners would have adjuncts, like corn, in them

I would say it's 1C. Premium American Lager

Thanks I'm wasn't sure how strict that bohemian style is the competition I am thinking about entering is a pilsner competition with 2008 rules. From what I read the bohemian style uses the saaz exclusively. The local competition is only judging 2A, 2B, and 2C. How close am I to entering it as a Classic American Pilsner?

CAP would have 6-row instead of Pilsner, tho I'm pretty sure >I< couldn't tell the difference, a certified judge might.

also CAPs have higher % of adjuncts, which might be more noticeable

it might fit 2C. go ahead and try it. worst they could do is judge it out-of-style

I entered a "mock" Maibock into brewclub comp (Jamil's recipe, used WLP060 and fermented it cool, but had no way to lager it) and no one could tell it was an ale. most comments were "good example of style"
