This brew is a German pils with a Czech pils yeast. Why the Czech yeast? Why not. Bryan is a fan of the lighter brews so he and I are going to hit up a 20 gallon batch of this hoss. This is mostly pilsner malt so we are going to be doing a multi step decoction as a way to make sure the grains are modified properly.
Anyway, this is the recipe:
