Napsteen Larger

You will need:

• Morgans Golden Saaz Pilsner
• 1kg Light dried malt
• 500g Dextrose
• 30gm Nelson Sauvin Hops
• Lager/Pilsner Grain Pack
• S-23 Saflager Yeast

Procedure:

1.  In advance of brewing, place 10 litres of water in sterilised, closed containers in a fridge.
2.   Place Lager Grain Pack in a bowl. Add 1 litre of hot tap water and steep the grain for 20 minutes.
3.  Pour contents of grain bowl through a sieve into a saucepan, rinse grain with an additional 1 litre of hot water and bring saucepan to the boil.
4.  Once boiling, turn off heat, add 15gm Nelson Sauvin hops and let sit for 5 mins.
5.  Pour saucepan contents into the fermenter and stir well.
6.  Empty contents of Golden Saaz can, Dextrose and Dried Malt into fermenter and stir until dissolved.
7.   Add chilled water & tap water until you reach 23 litres at 20-22˚c.
8.  Stir vigorously to create a thick froth on the wort.
9.  Tip in the rest of the Nelson Sauvin hops and sprinkle Saflager yeast on top.
10.  Seal fermenter and place in a cool, dark place, ideally at 12-15˚C. *
11.  Age in bottles at least four weeks before sampling, longer if you can. Cheers!

Notes:

*  Try to maintain a cool even temperature in the fermenter.  Place the fermenter in a tray and wrap it in a blanket with an end in a container of water.  Placing the fermenter on a concrete slab can also help to keep the temperature constant.  Use a Brewers Choice Brewing Thermostat in an old fridge for optimum brewing conditions all year round.
