There’s not much to the grist. Well, at least I don’t think it is. There are four different types of malt, most of which I assume are pilsner malt. Though I’m not totally sure. Two are described as “Tcheco”, which must be an abbreviation of “Tchecoslovakia”, which is Dutch for Czechoslovakia.
Another is described, rather enigmatically “B.”. My first thought was broeimout. But that would make the colour too dark. After fiddling around in BeerSmith a bit, I found pale Munich malt gave the right colour. Perhaps it stands for “Bavaria”.
The hops were all Roudnice from the 1956 harvest. Roudnice being a town between Prague and Usti nad Labem. I’ve assumed that they’re something like Saaz. I’ve increased the quantity by a third as the alpha acid content is listed as 5% in the brewing record.
300 gms. of gypsum were added to the brewing water.
Lagering lasted 60 days.

Thank you for this weird one. Love it. Definitely brew this one. But have trouble with the mash steps. you rest the mash at 72 degree, boil the decoction. So far so good. Return the decoction to mash at 72 you gonna get a temp for mash out at 80 or you need a very small decoction for 76 to mash out..
