Notes

Cereal Mash with all of the Polenta and 680g of the pale malt, to 67C with 2.5 L/kg of liquor. Hold for 20min then heat to boiling stiring constantly. Boil cereal mash 15min then strike main mash at 63C, rest of the pale malt with 2.5 L/kg of water. Continue boiling cereal mash and hold main mash for 30 minutes. Combine the two mashes for a rest at around 69C, have some cold and some boiling water ready to make adjustments. Hold for a fruther 20min and then mashout. Add the first lot of Saaz to the kettle before collecting the runoff and keep the kettle around 70C during sparging. Bring to the boil add the Northern Brewer and boil 45 mins then add the last lot of Saaz and boil a further 15 min. Ferment at 9-10C for a week and a half then transfer to secondary and slowly reduce the temp down to 0C. Lager at 0C for atleast 6 weeks, I lagered for 8 weeks.
