Batch 252, Leeser

 Continuing to make this as an ale rather than a lager, which means I can do two batches today. I did this one plus 10 gallons of Panama Red. It was a pretty easy brew day in spite of doing two batches and it being fairly hot outside.

10 gallon batch

19 lb Pilsner

1.5 lb White Wheat

Heated mash water to 164F, hit 150F in the mash. Adjusted pH to 5.1. Vorlauf 10 - 15 minutes each batch, collected 12.5 gallons in the boil kettle.

1.5 oz Magnum, whole cone, 60 minutes

2 tsp Irish Moss, 15 minutes

3 oz Saaz pellets, 5 minutes

90 minute boil. 

Used a combination of  Wyeast 1318 and 1272 from batch 251.
