Notes
MASHING PROCEDURE Hold pale malt and 1/2 bbl water at 122 °F (50 °C) for 30 min. Add l/6 bbl boiling water and increase temperature to 140 °F (60 °C). Stir in maize and hold for 15 min. Increase temperature to 158 °F (70 °C) and hold for 30 min. Mash off. SPARGING PROCEDURE Recirculate until wort runs clear. Sparge with 2/3 bbl water at 176 °F (80 °C). Collect 10/9 bbl in brew kettle. BOILING PROCEDURE Boil for 11/2-2 h to get a 10% volume reduction. Add domestic hops after 45 min. Add imported hops after 60 min. FERMENTATION AND AGING Ferment at 50 °F (10 °C) with lager yeast until the gravity end point is achieved (10-12 days). Sterilize 4 oz of imported hops/bbl of beer with dry steam; add to storage tank. Transfer fermented beer to storage and hold at 32 °F (0 °C) for six weeks. Note: Any of the "American Lager" yeast strains can be used on this formulation. It is usually unadvisable to use the Weihenstephan Lager strains with adjunct beers because of their low free amino nitrogen (FAN) levels (5). The malt concentration of this formulation, however, is similar to that of a standard all-malt lager, and hence the wort FAN level will be adequate for the German yeast. I have had good results using German yeast strains in this formulation.
