iBooz2 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 When we finally get the power back on (hopefully this WE) I am going to do a Carlsberg Pilsner clone and the recipe calls for Flaked Maize so I bought 5 kg so I can do several batches each with a little tweak if necessary. I presume there is no need to mill this stuff as it looks like it is ready to go into the mash. Also presume I mash it in when I do the other grains for the full mash time? TIA - AL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Greeny, (sorry I think I hit quote instead of edit, it was a bit dark to see here at that time ha ha). All is good so will have a crack at my Carlsberg recipe after I lay down another Leigh's Lager for my sick mate tomorrow. The Carlsberg is next in line, might get it done tomorrow but we will see, if not it will be mashed on Sunday then a Tooheys old just for something different - thanks again.

Yes it is good to back from camping in my own house to actually being able to live in it. I feel very sorry for the thousands that will still be doing that camping thing for weeks to come. According to my recipe it has 30 g Saaz @ 90" then 20 g Hallertauer Mittelfrueh @ 30". Note @Tone boy I have not made this before so just going to stick to that recipe for a start and see what makes and see what breaks.

WLP850 Copenhagen Lager Yeast then I am going to do another batch with the Lalbrew Premium Series - Diamond Lager Yeast to see what the differences are (or vise-versa) depending on the shipping of the WLP850 as I already have the Diamond in stock.

Was going say get your hands on WY2042 but WLP850 is the same which is the carlsberg yeast. Great yeast for an Aussie lager too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do need a starter though for lagers. I think you will find 2124 is W34/70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't even find one u quote on grain and grape or cheeky peak No I wouldn't say that liquid yeast makes a better beer. Different yes and more variety yes but not better. One of my fav yeasts at the moment is a dry yeast Verdant. I tried a lot of yeasts for pale ales and IPA's. I settled on WY1272 and new world strong for pale ales and IPA's. But have been blown away with what Verdant does for accentuating hops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did your Mash pH actually measure? With my last brew, I got an untreated 5.7 to a 5.4 with just 2.5ml of Lactic Acid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
