Notes:

  • basically a repeat of a previous czech pils recipe that turned out really well
  • Trying out a blend lager yeasts' mostly due to shop supply prior to brewday
  • Mash at 150° and 70 min boil
  • Not sure if it was the blend or just not a big enough starter, but attenuation was quite low here (~ 70% versus 83% on my last batch); sample at transfer tasted good, but it's pretty discouraging given the time I let this ferment (60+ days)
