BBCUL – Czech Unpasteurized Lager *BETA*

Availability: March through June, 2023

Source: An unpasteurized and freshly made batch of the original Czech Lager beer

Who doesn’t love a malty, slightly hoppy traditional Czech lager? The common commercially available strains sourced from the “original” brewery often lack a certain richness found in the classic beer.

CUL was sourced from an unpasteurized Czech Lager beer that produces a unique, malty sweet Pils aroma, a medium mouthfeel, subtle bite with low diacetyl production and a short primary fermentation.

Ferment at traditional lager ferm temperatures 50F-55F (10C-13C) for 2-6 weeks with a diacetyl rest before crashing or additional lagering.

  1. SHANE MOCK (verified owner) –

    Fantastic fermenter, brought my 1,052 Czech lager all the way down to 1,007!! Still has a nice richness and very smooth malty profile with that signature “Czech Thing” going on. I made a 5 gallon batch with 6,5 lbs of Czech Sekado Pilsen Malt and 4 lbs of Crisp Maltings Heritage Hana Malt that was double decocted. I fermented under pressure, will try open fermenting the next batch. Of course I saved and washed the yeast. Hops come through nicely as well. Great lager yeast.

  2. Jesse Anderson (verified owner) –

    Simple pils grist mashed at 148 F with a small, single, decoction pull on a 14 gallon batch produced some good wort to receive Czech Unpasteurized Lager starter. Couldn’t get FG lower than 1.014. Think a Diacetyl rest is a must, fermented at 52 F for twelve days and then ramped up to 65-68 F for several more. Brilliant clarity at 30 days. I like 34/70 fermented beers but this just blows it away in my opinion. Every sip is a 360 degree sensation in your mouth and is what I like to think an old world lager might be. Please do not stop making Czech Unpasteurized Lager.
