Zero Gravity Green State Lager Recipe

Brewing Process

1. 1

   Mashing

   In a large pot, combine the pale malt, Munich malt, and crystal malt with 5 liters of water. Heat the mixture to 152°F (67°C) and hold it at this temperature for 60 minutes, allowing the enzymes to convert the starches to sugars.

2. 2

   Sparging

   After mashing, sparge the grains with hot water to extract as much sugar as possible. Collect the liquid (wort) into a kettle.

3. 3

   Boiling

   Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. Boil for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will help extract the flavors from the hops.

4. 4

   Cooling

   After boiling, cool the wort quickly to about 65°F (18°C) using a wort chiller or an ice bath.

5. 5

   Fermentation

   Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel and pitch the yeast. Seal the vessel with an airlock and let it ferment at 50-55°F (10-13°C) for about 2 weeks.

6. 6

   Bottling

   Once fermentation is complete, bottle the lager with a priming sugar solution and let it carbonate for another 2 weeks at room temperature.

7. 7

   Serving

   Chill the bottles in the refrigerator, pour into a glass, and enjoy your Zero Gravity Green State Lager!
