Gordon Strong’s German Pilsner
This German Pilsner recipe can be used as a template for any hoppy Pilsner. Replace bittering hops with a first wort hop addition of a flavor hop, move flavor and aroma hops to the whirlpool or dry hopping, and alter the variety of hops to match the target profile for the style.
Gordon Strong’s Gruit
Balancing the bitterness and spices can be difficult due to unknown freshness and potency, so be prepared to make infusions (teas) to tweak the balance once the beer is finished.
Basic Cacao Nib Tincture
If you want to use a chocolate extract, Drew tends to make his own to control the flavor and strip the fat. Here is the recipe.
