German Pilsner

This turned out to be a fine German Style Pilsner.

(Recipe for 15 litres)

7 1/2 lbs Canadian 2-row malt
1/2 tsp Burton Salts
1 oz Tettnang Hops
1/2 oz Saaz Hops
1/2 oz Saaz Hops (finishing)
1/2 teaspoon Irish Moss
2 packets of dry lager yeast

Method:
Step mash. Mash in at 122° F for 1/2 hour. Raise temperature to 150° and rest for 1 hour. Raise temperature to 160° and rest for 15 minutes. Raise to 170° for mash out. Sparge and add Tettnang hops. Boil for 1 hour. Add 1/2 oz of Saaz hops and boil for another 30 minutes. Add remainder of Saaz hops and Irish Moss and boil for 10 more minutes. Force cool to 70° F. Ferment for 7 days in primary or until fermentation is over. Rack into carboy and let stand for 14 more days in a cool place. Bottle or keg.
