This is a German Pils-- a crisp, clean and refreshing light beer that you can brew at home. It's made with authentic German ingredients and takes about 2 months from brew day to pour. In this video, I show you how I brewed it, a few tips and tricks along the way, and a final taste test at the end.

-German Lager yeast (at least 2-3 packets or a starter)

Original gravity: 1.050 SG (12.5°P)
Final gravity: 1.009 SG (2.3°P)
ABV: 4.9%
IBU: 34

Mash at 148°F for 45 minutes

-0.50 (14g) at flameout -15 minutes before knockout (3 IBU)

Oxygenate wort to 10-15ppm.

Pitch yeast at 48°F and let rise to 50°F until fermentation is complete.

Do a diacetyl test to ensure none is present before crash cooling.

Dump the trub/yeast from the fermenter or transfer to a secondary fermenter.

It’s best to dump the fermenter cone about every 2-3 days for the first week or two to ensure the beer doesn’t come in contact with inactive yeast for extended periods.

Crash cool the fermenter at a rate of 2-3°F every 12 hours until a lagering temperature of 32-36°F (0-2°C) is reached.

Lager for atleast 4 weeks, carbonate, package, and enjoy!
