I did a stock take yesterday and found i have about 12kilo belgian pilsner malt.
Have diverse hios but no nobel hops although these can be gotten.
Looking for an ale with maybe 100%pilsner or at least mostly pilsner.
Thoughts?
Only condition NO cascades i hate them.
Loads of pilsner malt
Re: Loads of pilsner malt
How about this Grisette recipe?
I plan to brew this myself after I have done a Riggwelter clone for a friend...
2014 Grisette
Original Gravity (OG): 1.048
Final Gravity (FG): 1.010
Alcohol (ABV): 4.96 %
Colour (SRM): 3.2 (EBC): 6.3
Bitterness (IBU): 17.3 (Tinseth)
70.71% Pilsner
20.2% Wheat Malt
4.55% Cane Sugar
4.55% Flaked Wheat
1.1 g/L Hallertau Mittlefrueh (6.3% Alpha) @ 90 Minutes (Boil)
0.7 g/L East Kent Golding (5.2% Alpha) @ 2 Minutes (Boil)
Single step Infusion at 64°C for 90 Minutes. Boil for 90 Minutes
Fermented at 19°C with WLP550 - Belgian Ale
You could possibly add some grains of paradise at the end of the boil or a few sage leaves into the FV to add a subtle little something to the beer. You could easily half the amount of wheat malt and raise the pilsner malt without affecting the beer too much.

Re: Loads of pilsner malt
Sounds good.
Is this a wheat type beer or a blonde?

Re: Loads of pilsner malt
It's not quite a wheat beer but I would maybe describe it as a lightweight saison.

Re: Loads of pilsner malt
I think I would call that beer an Abby Single or Pater's Bier. You should give that a try, I think you'll really like it. After you make that beer then what I would do is make a Triple using the yeast off the first beer. Temperature control is going to be an issue; if you let it get too warm you may start throwing off fusels but if you keep things under control you can get some really neat flavors. Once the beer is ready, agressively carbonate it then break out the challace or snifter and you are in business. You can also play all kinds of games with the formulation to suit your tastes and make a unique product. Different hops (Saaz, Styrians or even Kent Goldings), different sugars and also as was suggested some spices although I think the yeast can do the job all by itself. Anyway have fun and good luck. 

Drinking:Saison (in bottles), Belgian Dubbel (in bottles), Oud Bruin (in bottles), Olde Ale (in bottles),
Abbey Triple (in bottles), Munich Helles, Best Bitter (TT Landlord clone), English IPA
Conditioning: Traditional bock bier, CAP
Fermenting: Munich Dunkel
Next up: Bitter (London Pride like), ESB
So many beers to make, so little time (and cold storage space)
