I didn't check how much malt I had on hand before I started to brew the NY Pils today and it bit me in the ass. I only had 13 pounds left in a 50 lb sack of Pilsen malt. I had Munich, Vienna, Marris Otter and Wheat on had. What to do what to do. So I tossed in 5lbs of Munich malt.
So now 25% of my grain bill is Munich in what's supposed to be a Pilsner. What kind of beer do I have now? A good fried suggested it's a Munich Helles, the problem with that is how hoppy this beer is. It's 100% cascade hops, those are going to come through so I'm thinking Helles is out.
It's darker that it should be now, more like a Maibock which may very well be the closest thing this beer will come to resemble, I'm not quite sure.
Anyways the rest of the brew day went flawlessly. I hit all my numbers and had all the rest of the ingredients so there's nothing left to do but see how this beer tastes.
