This beer derives its crisp, easy-drinking flavor from just two base malts. Floor-malted Pilsner malt is somewhat under-modified and benefits from a protein rest, but you can skip this step with regular Pilsner malt. The mash rests can be achieved through direct heat, infusions of hot water, or decoctions. Those who prefer a single infusion mash should aim for a mash temperature of 152°F (67°C).
Nottingham yeast is very clean for an English ale yeast and ferments well at low temperatures. A period of cold conditioning improves the flavor and clarity of this fake German lager.
