Got this done today. Relatively straightforward brew day, other than forgetting the water treatment til the mash was on. Chucked it in anyway so we'll see.
Mashed low to get a nice dry crisp finish to the beer.
Similar to GH's recipe though I added tettnang not hallertauer.
3kg Pilsner malt
30g saaz @60
25g tettnang @10
Wyeast 3787 Trappist high gravity (this smelt very funky and tart from the smack pack). No starter as its only a 15L batch.
Og after top up (I was over og and under volume) was 1046 as expected. Should get 1010 if the yeast gets going, so about 5% and 23 ibu.
This is going to be the summer drink of choice, to be consumed with a burnt sausage off the bbq
Here it is about to get a good vorlaufing (thanks for fixing mods)
