Extract version of "Pilz" Czech Pale Lager Pilsner beer from American Homebrewer's Association. Lactic acid only if needed for water adjustment. Split water 50/50 with filtered tap water and distilled water. Add 3/4 Tbsp. of lactic acid for pH adjustment. Mash in at 152? F (67? C) and hold for 90 minutes. Do the same split of water for sparging, and collect about 7.75 gallons (29 L) for the boil. Start whirlpool while chilling. Add whirlpool hops after temperature is below 190? F (88? C). Chill wort to 48? F (9? C) and aerate with pure oxygen for 60 seconds. Pitch WLP833 and allow temperature to rise to 50? F (10? C) over 48 hours. Allow temperature to rise to 55? F (13? C) after a week. Ramp temperature to 63? F (17? C) for a three-day diacetyl rest and then slowly crash cool to 37? F (3? C).
