Brew day. Third brew on my new Grainfather G40.
Czech Pale Lager today. The Pitelnost recipe from @ThirstyPilgrim and @evanrail . Weyermann Bohemian Pilsner malt and WLP802 Budvar yeast.
Washington Post has an article about properly poured Czech and German beers (and proper English ales). Definitely some influence from Lukr (I love my Lukr faucets). The comments on the article are indicative of so much that has been wrong with US mainstream beer for decades. Really wonder why all the people bothered to read, and comment, on a WaPo article if all they want to drink is canoe sex beer.

"Czech Lager: The Art of the Addictive
Whether you want to brew a more convincing Czech-style lager, or you simply want to borrow a few tricks to shape the kind of beer that seems impossible to stop drinking, here are some elements to consider."

Tried a small glass today at six weeks of lagering. Still a bit cloudy but tastes amazing. Will wait another two weeks and try some more.
It is too cold at 1-2°C but the bitterness seems just perfect. This is going to be an easy drinking beer - per the name and the style.
I couldn’t resist going down to the barn to check on the Pitelnost. 29 days of lagering. Some yeast settling in the bottom so not a bad thing to draw some off. Tastes pretty darn good though. 4.6% and ~40IBU
I’ll try again around day 42 or so.
From this recipe and my other candidate for my baseline brew. This is using WLP800.

Almost there. Then the Speise goes in and we move to secondary in a Corny keg to get some natural carbonation, and then to the lagering fridge for 6-8 weeks.
The Budvar I’m brewing is based on this recipe from Malt Miller UK that they did in partnership with Budvar. Another decoction mash. I’m using a lot more Saaz hops to make more of a Budvar 33 otherwise I find Budvar too sweet. If this wort turns out as I suspect I will try a version using the M84 yeast or the WLP800 to see if I can get close to a Pilsner Urquell.
