I had the chance to do a last min Saturday brew day and decided to make this Psuedo – Pilsner. I had a jar of harvested Opshaug yeast from Ryan. With this beer I did 100% Pilsner with Saaz. My Saaz was pretty low IBU so I did go for a higher IBU style pilsner and shot for the mid twenties. This should be a bit maltier and I am hoping for a really clean beer. When I transfer this beer to the serving keg I will do a closed transfer with gelatin in the bottom of the purged serving keg. I am hoping this beer turns out and I will edit this post through the stages of the beer.

Brewer’s notes
I used Denver tap water for this recipe I added some lactic acid to get the PH down. You can use a very soft water profile to try to get a more European lager style. I also fermented this under pressure at 10PSI.
