• LalBrew® NovaLager Yeast 11g Sachets x 2

Method:

1. Mash – Single infusion mash at 65°C (159°F) for 60 minutes at a ratio of 3L of Mash Water to 1Kg of Grain allowing for any mash false bottom approx. 17-18L.
2. Infuse mash with near boiling water while stirring or with recirculating mash system raise temp to mash out at 78°C (172°F)
3. Sparge slowly – once again the brewer should do normal regime at around 78°C
4. First Wort Hop with 10g CZ Saaz post sparge or immediately upon transfer of first wort to the Kettle.
5. Boil – vigorous boil for 60 mins with first hop additions at 60 mins – 15g of Motueka NZ Hop for firm bittering.
6. Third Hop Additions: 30 mins remaining on the boil add 20g of CZ Saaz.
7. Yeast Nutrient: Optional feed Yeast Nutrient with a tablet of Servomyces 10 mins from end of boil.
8. Late Boil hopping – 5 minutes from end of boil add 15g of CZ Saaz Hops and 15g of NZ Motueka Hops 5 minutes from end of boil.
9. Chill down to 82°C (180°F) and whirlpool / hop stand for 20 mins adding 30g each of both Motueka NZ Hops and Saaz CZ Hops for the whirlpool / hopstand aroma additions.
10. Chill and Oxygenate your Wort ahead of Yeast Pitching – The wort should be chilled to a temperature of 20 °C (68 °F) or below before you pitch your favourite yeast and bring down to fermentation temperature between 10-12°C. [Brewers Note: If you are in a hurry you can ferment at 12-16°C with neglible effects based on experience from Lallemand Brewing].
11. Do a diacetyl rest, by raising the temperature to 15-18 °C (59–64 °F) for a brief period (24–72 hours) before the yeast has nearly finished fermenting the beer.  Aim to raise the temperature at around Day 8 or post primary fermentation with 2 plato or 8 specific gravity points left to go on your fermentation.  
12. Conditioning – Rack the beer off the yeast after 2 weeks primary and secondary fermentation is complete and cold condition for as long as possible. Pilsner Urquell lager for 42 days! Surely you can manage 4 weeks!? Ideally, you should lager this beer for 63 days!
13. Lagering – To Lager is to Store Cold and the longer you Lager or store cold the more your Pulsar | CZNZ Pilsner will mellow and round out in terms of flavour.  Of course if you love fresh as hops and beer you can try a shorter 2 weeks cold conditioning possibly combined with carbonation if your kegging.
