I brewed 11 gallons of Helles lager today, similar to the brew we did at Valley Farms over the Christmas holiday. The recipe was pretty simple:
12 lbs Weyermans Pilsner
5 lbs Weyermans Munich
1 lb Carahelle
1 oz Perle (9.4% AA) First Wort Hopping
1 oz Liberty (4.0% AA) @ 10 minutes
4 packs Safale S-23 pitched at 50 degrees
Target og was 1.049 for 11 gallons, which I hit right on with about 11.5 gallons into the fermenter. The one new thing I tried was the FWH, which is putting hops in the kettle prior to running anything out of the mash tun. It is supposed to result in a "smoother" bitterness. We'll see how it comes out in a month or 2. Cheers!
