Aussiekraut Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I'm planning on making a Vienna Lager on the weekend. I've been doing some digging and came up with this: 3.5kg Vienna 1.5kg Munich 250g Cara Munich II 50g Chocolate Wheat 50g Hallertauer mf (4.0%AA) @ 60 30g Tettnanger (3.4%AA) @ 10 (alternatively, 10g @ 60, not sure yet) 2 x NovaLager yeast 75 minute mash @ 66.7C (medium body) and 60 minute boil. 22.9 IBU, 21.1 EBC, 5.3% ABV Any objections?

Not really, but Any other lager yeast I would say 2 packets, but I do not know much about NovaLager yeast. I have not used it yet. 75 minute mash. Really? Is that long necessary. However, most of my mashes are 60 minutes. Plus I pause the timer and stir the mash about 3 times. This takes about 4 minutes each time. So 60 minutes + 3 x 4 minutes = 72 minutes is not far off you proposed 75 minutes, so go for it. No real reason to change your recipe. I think it will be a cracker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked and according to Lallemand, I should be able to get away with just one. It's got the same pitching rate as Notty does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
