German Vixen Hill "Pilsner" Lager. Fuchsin (Vixen), hügeln (Hills).
In this experiment we are using wild growing hops without knowing the variety of the hops. To be on a conservative side I am adjusting IBU to the lower end by using Saaz as the template. If they are of higher a bitterness than we could end up with a pilsner on the higher bitterness scale or an APA style if bitterness is really out there.

Special Instructions
1.Heat 3.75 gallon of strike water to 170 degree (1.5 qt. per lb.) and add to grains in mash tun. Mash for 60 minutes at 152 degree.
2.Adjust PH with lactic acid if needed to mid 5.
3.Use 5:1 ratio of wet hops to dry, ex. 1 oz. of dry pellet equals 5 oz. of wet hops. Add hops as indicated.
4.During last 15 minutes of boil add the Whirloc tablet.
5.Lager at 48 degree for two weeks, raise temp to 62 degree for two days.
6.After two days check SG, if FG has not been reached drop temp to 48 degree for another week. After 5 days check gravity. If not moving but below 1.02 fermentation may be complete.
7.Rack beer to carboy and lager near freezing for 3 weeks, add fining agent if desired.
8.After 3 weeks near freezing rack to keg and carbonate to 2.5
9.Set fridge at 35 degree and 10 psi on CO2. Or adjust PSI according temp
Beer has finished fermenting adjusted efficiencies so OG and FG are correct to outcome. Cold crashing at 30F. Nice clean color and good taste. Hops were unknown growing at a vineyard. but I think IBU is about right using the saaz hop as guide. Would have added more hops but we ran out.
