Hey guys

The drunken pope's first attempt at a lager. We need some help on this one. Its a great day for it. We are grinding now so any changes to our malt bill will have to be made very soon.

Amount Item Type % or IBU
4.70 kg Lager Malt (2.0 SRM) Grain 87.9 %
0.40 kg Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM) Grain 7.5 %
0.15 kg Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 2.8 %
0.10 kg Munich Malt (9.0 SRM) Grain 1.9 %
35 gm Riwaka [5.10%] (60 min) Hops 18.2 IBU
12 gm Nelson Sauvin [11.40%] (60 min) Hops 13.9 IBU
5 gm Riwaka [5.10%] (30 min) Hops 2.0 IBU
5 gm Riwaka [5.10%] (15 min) Hops 1.3 IBU
4 gm Nelson Sauvin [11.40%] (5 min) Hops 0.9 IBU
5 gm Riwaka [5.10%] (10 min) Hops 0.9 IBU
5 gm Riwaka [5.10%] (5 min) Hops 0.5 IBU

We have no czech saaz which would have been our first hop choice. The yeast is 2124 bohemian activator.

We would really appreciate the help

Looks fine - I wouldn't have used the Crystal - but I suppose it's too late for that now. The only advise I would offer is to make sure you have a 4 Liter starter for that beer. It makes a phenominal difference, especially when you intend to ferment as low as 12 degrees.

Might be a bit late for y'all though?

I agree with Joking, no crystal! And who makes the "lager malt", sounds like Wigram selling pale malt as lager malt! :)

You could have texted me this morning I have some Czech Saaz in the freezer!

haha, ok for the record (sorry mick), mick thought it was called lager malt, and asked doug for lager malt at gladfield, which he provided in an unnamed sack. i did say i thought it was called pilsener malt afterwards but mick disagreed.haha good times. Any who we have some spare if you chch guys want to buy it for cheaper than wigram's prices (same with pale malt). just give me, mick or jade a buzz.
cheers.

Do use just use standard rolled oats into the Mash?

Yeah, thats what I've used.

Wholegrain rolled oats from Harraways. Not sure if thats what is meant to be used. I think some of the breweries in the UK use Pinhead Oats, which I've never seen over here
