I’ve been wanting to brew a Czech lehké which is a “light” beer brewed below 8° Balling (which is similar to Plato of about 1.032 starting gravity). I thought this winter would be a perfect time to get into one of these and try to push the gravity even lower. I had some pils malt on hand and the Weihenstephan 34/70 in the fridge.
