How to Make a Real Lager with Homebrew

Описание: I'm incredibly impatient and whenever I've tried to make a real lager I've usually cut corners. However, I decided for once to pull out all the stops. I did a decoction mash and left my beer to ferment and lager for close to three months.

The recipe is

4.4kg Crisp German Pilsen
500g Crisp light Munich
15g Magnum @60min
25g Saaz @ 10 min
Saflager S-189 yeast

You can find all the ingredients for your lager brews at KegThat: https://kegthat.com/ including malt: https://kegthat.com/product-category/...
hops: https://kegthat.com/product-category/...
and yeast: https://kegthat.com/product-category/...

Something I forgot to mention was if you attempt this use a seive like I have done in the video to get the grain whilst leaving the wort in the mash tun.

This was a really rewarding experience and I would definitely do this again. I've been brewing for 10 years and I'm still amazed at how great beer can come out sometimes.
