    Neutral to subtle flavor. Characteristics & Applications: • CBW® Pilsen Light is a liquid, 100% pure malted barley extract made from 100% Briess malts and water. It is the lightest pure malted barley extract available and produces a very crisp, clear wort. • CBW® Pilsen Light can be used in the production of all extract beer styles and to adjust the color, flavor and gravity of all grain beers. • Advantages of using extract in a brewhouse include: o Save time. o Increase capacity/boost productivity. o Extends the brew size by adding malt solids to the wort. o Boost gravity. o Adjust color. o Improve body and head retention. • Briess Malt & Ingredients Company is the only vertically integrated malting company in North America. That means we make our pure malt extracts from our own malt so you are assured of receiving only the fullest flavored, freshest, pure malt extracts for top brewhouse performance.

Notes

Start w/ 2g - 2.5g of water for the amount of total grain. Raise temp of water to 164ish. Add grains (in bag). The addition of grain will drop temp. Adjust temp to meet low 150s. Mash for 60 min. Heat 2 gl sparge water to 170. Once mash is complete, lift bag and allow to drain. The use of a colander works well. Transfer gain bag to sparge water for additional rest to extract additional goodness (10-15 min). Heat additional .5 gl to rinse the sparge. A little redundant but what the hell. Rinse grain bag and discard grain. Pour original wort into sparge water. Bring to boil and add LME and bittering hops. 70 min boil. Yeast X2.

Very active fermentation. Should be interesting. My initial Gravity before adding water to primary was 1.090, after water 1.074.

Finally stopped fermenting after three weeks. Terminal Gravity 1.007 for 8.2% ABV. Tastes good. Plan on letting it sit in secondary for another week before keg/bottle extravaganza.
