Jesse brewed up a German Pilsner, and in this episode we’re tasting the result, as well as discussing the style and pilsners in general.
The recipe score in the mid 30’s at the El Paso County Fair Homebrew Competition. He missed the mark on bitterness, but that’s easy enough to fix next time. He may have been able to enter it in the Munich Helles category and have done better. More importantly, it’s a good beer and enjoyable to drink 😊
The recipe itself is as simple as can be, Pilsner malt, a little acid malt, Hallertauer Magnum for bittering, and Hallertauer Mittlefrueh for flavor and aroma.
You can find the recipe in the online version of the show notes at:

Mike also mentions that the BJCP removed the requirements to know the stats of each style for the styles question of the exam. That should make the written exam a little easier.

We also talk a little about judging, and malt, and whatever comes to mind.

Great work fellas!
Thanks!
Why not call it an international pale lager? You used domestic pils malt which will not have the flavors a nice German malt like Wyermann will have. You also said it didn't dry out enough which is probably OK for an International pale lager. Want to have some fun? Swap out a couple of pounds of malt for some ground corn, do a cereal mash and make a Mexican lager.
Where were you two months ago, William? :) That's a great suggestion and would have absolutely been a better category than Helles. I'd still have gotten dinged for it not having a cripy finish, but I think the malt profile would have been a much better fit. I tend to forget about the International Lager category for some strage reason.
I agree on the malt. Using a good Geman malt occurred to me later so I'll be using different malt next time, along with adjusting the hops, As for adding corn, I was considering doing that but shooting for an American lager.
