I figure that rather than make a Vienna lager that tastes like an APA, I'll make an actual APA later. For this winter's lager I'll attemp a Knappsteinish one. I am reassured that my thoughts of using pilsner malt and just sauvin hops are supported by opinions in a brewing web forum. So I'm going with the Bohemian Pilsner recipe from my trusty book. I've just ordered the grain and I'll work out the hop additions in the morning when I have more brain.
Ah at least it is a decision. Bit of a challenging brew for my low levels of both experience and kit. It could go horribly wrong but nothing ventured eh? Melbourne's nice soft water will help. Tomorrow's weather looks a bit confronting for mashing on my tiny verandah, so Sunday is more likely mash day. At least we have decent wintery weather forecast next week to keep the ferment temp down.
