Honey Pilsner
This was a honey of a beer.
(Recipe for 20 litres)
1 kg. Light Plain malt extract
2 cups of corn sugar
1 cup of honey
1 cup of crystal malt
1/4 cup of chocolate malt
1 oz of hops (these were wild hops, I don't know what kind, but they were very mild)
1/2 oz of hops for finishing.
1 tablespoon of gypsum.
Method: Put grains and gypsum into 1 1/2 gallons of water. Bring temperature up to 150� F. Hold for 30 minutes. Bring to boil. Remove grains as soon as boil begins. Add malt, sugar, honey and hops. Boil vigorously for 40 minutes.Then add finishing hops and boil for 10 more minutes. Ferment as usual. Spg. 1.054
Notes: Nice crisp light taste. Needs just a tad more hops. I don't think the wild hops had much bittering power.
