I took this back to basics and challenged myself to make a Lager with 2-row. I let the ingredients do the talking for me and see how it will turn out. When I milled the grain it smelled like marshmallows. I hope the beer turns out similarly.

I boiled for 90 minutes. I did an ounce of Tettnanger at 60 and an ounce of Hersbrucker at 20.

I wanted to try out a new recipe. It’s great to make new recipes and and get out of my regular rotation. This is a Pilsner style with Vienna and Munich added for extra depth. I tried to come up with one of my usual edgy halfwit names. I settled on the first thing that came to mind. Magnum hops for bittering and Hallertau for aroma. It was an easy brew that just flew together with some reused yeast from a previous lager.

I make lagers due to the extra 45 degree areas in my fridge. I usually have two ales fermenting at a time. I am fortunate to be able to have this ability and I trade off between Bock lagers and Pilsner style lagers. This one is made with Hallertau hops.

I was eager to add another Pilsner to my schedule of brewing after adding Pea flowers to my previous Pilsner. I love Lagers and Pilsners. I added some Oat Malt for some extra flavor. Hersbrucker hops for a floral and spicy aroma.
