lager lout 12-9-09

Only getting this brew on today

4.5 Kg lager malt
0.5 Kg Carahelles


Mash at 66C for 90 mins

10g of Green bullet 13 % for 60 mins
25g of Saaz 3.3 % for 30 mins
25g of saaz 3.3 % for 10 mins
50g of Saaz 3.3 % steep at 80C.

Will be fermenting this at 12C with three packets of rehydrated W34/70 lager yeast.

I would be careful dry hopping with saaz especially in a lager... i've heard horror stories about the dry hop flavour you get from it (try googling). Might also throw a haze which will stick out in a pale beer

Thanks for heads up, thats my decision made then, it'll be 50g Saaz steep at 80C.

Had planned this ages ago, only getting it on today. Have upped the saaz just because i have lots of them.
