Method

Brewing Process

1

Mashing

Heat 5 liters of filtered water to 160°F (71°C). Add the Pilsner and CaraPils malts. Hold the temperature for 60 minutes.

2

Sparging

After mashing, sparge the grains with hot water to collect around 6 liters of wort.

3

Boiling

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

4

Cooling

Quickly cool the wort to around 70°F (21°C) using a wort chiller.

5

Fermentation

Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel. Pitch the lager yeast and seal with an airlock. Ferment at 50°F (10°C) for about 2 weeks.

6

Bottling

After fermentation, dissolve corn sugar in a small amount of boiling water. Add to the fermentation vessel and mix gently. Bottle the beer using sanitized bottles and caps.

7

Carbonation

Let the bottles carbonate at room temperature for another 2 weeks. Then chill and enjoy your Von Trapp Pilsner!
