Re: IBU for a Larger
It depends massively on what you mean by "lager". Take a look through the BJCP style guidelines and aim at one of those:

Re: IBU for a Larger
Looks something like a Bohemian Pilsner, You could try for around 30 - 35 hops if you like some bite. If it's for easy drinking, maybe 20 IBUs.

Re: IBU for a Larger
So, do you plan on doing a single or double decoction?
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)

Neither, just a normal mash. I have English Larger Malt that quite well modified.Barley Water wrote:So, do you plan on doing a single or double decoction?
