Pilsner Urquell

[system]

Ok…

Moravian Malt
Saaz Hops
Soft Water
Czech Lager Yeast

Triple decoction mash.

Cold ferment at 48 degrees.

What have I missed?

2 hour boil i heard.

i would use moravian floor malt if you can get it. but if i wanted a pilsner urquell clone that most people would bang on as it with minimal effort i would just go

german pilsner malt
all saaz hops to maybe 35IBU (im guessing without czeching)
soft water
czech lager

i’d risk an infusion or single decoction if i really felt like it. (i believe in decoctions, but brulosophy experiments suggests that most people do not notice it)

2 hour minimum boil

Thanks. Pretty much what we figured. The grain will be a 50-50 mix of Weyermann German Pils & Weyermann floor malted Bohemian.
