An attempt at the “pivo” at CraneRiver, Lincoln, Ne.
Brewed in early may 05
OG ~ 1.042 FG:????
10 lbs –Pils base malt
. 5 lb –Cara-pils
Mashed at 148f for 60minutes. Recirculate, drain.
Sparged with 168F water collected 6 gallons- 6.5 would be better
Boiled for 75 minutes- 90 would be better for a clearer beer
after 15 minutes, add,
1.5 oz Saaz 60 min boil time and,
1.5 Saaz through out the last 30 min
and wlp 007-Dry London Ale
primary for a week at 65-maybe 68
secondary for a week or two…
Notes: This beer was decent. I would brew it again with an extra pound of malt, or two. This was the first beer I ever Kegged and force carbonated. Hop aroma reminded me of the good german/czech beers… but it wasn’t as crisp and dry.
