Dutch Lager

[BrianMac]

Would anyone have a clone recipe (all grain) for a lager similar to Grolsch Premium Lager?

[jacinthebox]

I do...but it's on my work pc...so I can post it tomorrow morning

[Keith]

BrianMac, I have a grolsch clone in my clone brews book. Give me a bit and I'll post it.

It's a good summer beer...most of my 6 gal batch of was consumed in a hot summer weekend with few buddies

I do not have a recipe, but you will probably get close with pilsner malt and little bit of munich (95%/5% or 90%/10%), hallertau at 60 up to 25 ibus or so, and small late addition of hallertau or other noble hop. Think most of the dutch breweries use the danish lager strain, so I would go with that yeast.

Brian, I had unexpected company last night that showed up. I'll get this for you today when I get home.

However on a side note, he brought me my window quote and about $5300 all said and done! Have to like having a buddy who's an installer!

23 L

[BrianMac]

Thanks guys!. Brew day today!

[jacinthebox]

did you find a recipe that you liked?

[BrianMac]

Yeah, I run the one that Keith posted through Brewsmith. I don't have a big enough brew pot for the 42 litres boil in your recipe.
Getting set up to go now. It's quite mild out here(4 Deg.) Got the propane tank topped up, a few Pizzaz in the coldroom.
My son will be up to give me a hand. All systems go!

[jacinthebox]

The boil volume is about 32-33L (I can't recall right now)
