Mix Weyermann Pilsner malt with a splash of Weyermann Carafoam and Weyermann Acidulated with hot water at 149F. Let sit for 40 minutes, then clarify wort via recirculation for 20 minutes. Collect 15 bbls of wort via first runnings and sparge. Add first addition of hops at 5 bbls collected. Boil for 75 minutes, adding hops twice more. After the boil, send it to the whirpool, then cool it down to 48F as you aerate it and send it to the fermenter via the heat exchanger. Pitch 3470 yeast and let fermentation commence. After about 5 days, cap the fermenter with a spünding valve set to 1 bar, to allow for natural carbonation. Once beer is terminal and VDK negative around day 20, slow crash the fermenter over multiple days to 32F. Lager for 4 more weeks.
