Thanks for your reply, I got a 3 vessel system and my mash tun is an esky of 44 litres. Boil pot is an 50 l keg with kettle elements. If I should use the recipe you have put up here , how should I use the mash tun ? I do like the way you mash in your videos . What is it called , single infusion, medium body , or what ?Did a bit of research and some poeple say use 1.5l of water for every 1kg of grain and others say 3 l of water for every 1 kg of grain for strike water ? Sorry for all the questions mate , Im all new to this !! Cheers mare !

I'd mash about 2.7L per kg usually you could round it to 3L per kg with no issue. Yep single infusion, ***** body. Cheers mate, keep asking them! :)

Hi Gash. Im brewing this next weekend.
I am wondering if you can please recommend a good sulphate/chloride ratio? I have EZ water and have it nailed for ales, but this is my first lager. I am guessing a bit more sulphate for a crisp taste?

Many thanks mate.

It kind of depends which way you want to push it, a european lager pilsen would have very little salts compared to a light american lager which would have a fair bit.




As far trying to replicate Australian lagers, Im not exactly sure what water they would use these days. I have an old recipe for tooheys new 1931 and it says just add3g of gysum to mash, sydney water.. and tooths KB 1918 1g gypsum and 3g Calc Chloride. They are very old recipes though.

Ok. Interesting hey. I might have a stab at palmers profile for light lagers and see how it goes.

Thanks for the reply Gash! Appreciated.

Did you end up brewing this beer? If so how did it turn out?

I brewed and bottled recently.

Turned out clean, crisp and on point.
I like my hops so I would probably add a touch more Hops for bitterness next time but that's just me.

Thanks mate, so pretty similar to the macro lagers here in Oz?

PS I used golden promise as the base malt and saflager
34/70 yeast so a bit of a variation.

Brewing a familiar Dark Mild later today. (hint: Was the bastard tired? Or was he run over by a tire (tyre). No one really knows). One thing for sure. It will be a treat when done. Cheers!
