Thrifty lager

Being the cheap skates that we are we thought we would try the previous beer with some less expensive ingredients.  So we choose a bag of powdered malt instead of the liquid otherwise the same recipe.

Tin of Muttons Pilsner
Powdered Czech Malt


180g Crystal Malt
30g Light Lager
                                     30min              15min          0min
Fuggel Hops                 15g                   5g             15g
Stickenbract                 10g                                      5g

Method:
Boil water
Crack grains
Steep grains in water (turn it off)
Bring malt to a boil
When boiling add hops at 30 - 15 - 0

Dump in primary fermenter
Add water to 23ltr and 26C

Sprinkle on yeast (we used yeast from the Pilsner kit)
