Brewing Process
- 1
Mashing
In a large pot, heat 5 liters of water to around 65°C (149°F). Add the Pilsner and Munich malts, stirring well to ensure all grains are soaked. Maintain this temperature for 60 minutes.

Sparging
After mashing, sparge the grains with hot water to collect the wort. Aim for about 4 liters of wort.

Boiling
Bring the collected wort to a boil. Add the Saaz hops and boil for 60 minutes. Add Hallertau hops in the last 15 minutes of the boil.

Flavoring
In the last 5 minutes of the boil, add dried lemon peel and fresh herbs to the wort.

Cooling and Fermentation
Cool the wort quickly to around 20°C (68°F) using a wort chiller. Transfer to a fermentation vessel and pitch the lager yeast. Ferment at 10°C (50°F) for 2-3 weeks.

Bottling
