FUN! I asked ChatGPT to create a sour pilsner for me while on-air, so here is the official recipe:

The Jon Liedtke On-Air Sour Pilsner

  • Ingredients:
  • 8 lbs Pilsner malt
  • 1 lb Acidulated malt
  • 0.5 lb Wheat malt
  • 1 oz Saaz hops (3% alpha acid)
  • 1 oz Tettnang hops (4% alpha acid)
  • 1 packet of lactic acid bacteria (such as Omega Yeast’s Lactobacillus Blend)
  • 1 package of lager yeast (such as Wyeast 2124)

Instructions:

  1. Mash the Pilsner, Acidulated, and Wheat malts with 2.5 gallons of water at 1500F for 60
    minutes.
  2. Sparge with 2.5 gallons of water at 1680F to collect 5 gallons of wort.
  3. Boil the wort for 60 minutes, adding 1 oz of Saaz hops at the beginning of the boil and 1
    oz of Tettnang hops at 30 minutes.
  4. Chill the wort to around 1000F and pitch the lactic acid bacteria. Let it ferment for 24-48
    hours until it reaches your desired sourness.
  5. Bring the wort back up to a boil, adding additional hops if desired, for 10-15 minutes to
    kill off the bacteria.
  6. Chill the wort to around 500F and pitch the lager yeast.
  7. Ferment the beer at 50-550F for 2-3 weeks, or until the gravity has stabilized.
  8. Lager the beer at near-freezing temperatures (around 340F) for 4-6 weeks, or until it has
    fully matured and cleared.
