It's spring! It's snowing! My cellar is still 53F!
So, because I know how tasty a bitter pilsner can be on a hot summer day, it's going to be a pilsner brew day. And because I've been crazy busy, it's going to be a 10 gallon partial mash. Most of the time I make my pilsners with the classic ingredients. Today, because I'll do two fermentations side by side, I'm pitching two different yeast: Czech Pilsner and Pilsner Urquel. But maybe today it's a good time to get out of my Saaz/Hallertauer rut. Maybe its time for a Chinook & Cascade Pilsner...
This is a pilsner from December. Yum. Good food photography is harder than it looks.
