I brewed his recipe and just made substitutions on the hops and yeast. It's in primary right now and I think it will turn out great from the one sample I've had.

What were your Substitutions? Im really intrigued to make one and so far it doesn't seem overly complicated. Are you still Lagering?

I did a schwarzbier a couple of months ago. I did an extract with grains recipe based on Jamil's book. You can substitute base grain for the extract of course. I've been pretty good about letting it lager for 3 months. From specific gravity samples, I've noticed that the chocolate malt goes a long way, but otherwise it is a fairly clean finishing beer. I'm really looking forward to drinking this one in May.

6oz. chocolate malt
6oz. crystal 40 L
3.5oz. carafa II
3.5oz. black roasted barley

5# munich LME
3.6# pilsner LME

1.75oz. 3.6%AA Hallertau @60min
.5oz 3.1%AA Hallertau @20min
.5oz 3.1%AA Hallertau @0min

2 liter starter (3 days early) of WLP830 "German Lager Yeast"

I love Shiner's Black Lager and have wanted to try to copy it for a while. I am splitting the difference between uwjester and riclark and working up a mini-mash. I am still figuring out beersmith, and trying to find styrian hops. Shiner uses Styrian and Saaz.

**uwjester** · 04-14-2008, 10:17 PM

Good idea. I think the styrians would go good with this beer, but yeah, they are hard to come by these days. I've been wanting to do a pilsner with styraian goldings, but I just haven't come across the hops for it.

quickerNu · 04-14-2008, 10:20 PM

Here is what I have worked up so far. I might not use so much chocolate, and I need another bittering hop. Any suggestions? Maybe perle for bittering and saaz just for aroma? I have yet to figure out how to set up my mash on beersmith.

I would think of cutting the black barley a bit, depending on what you are shooting for. My interperetation of the style is that you don't want to create a stout-like flavor. I think you are shooting for a fairly clean lager. Too much black barley could add a coffee-like acrid flavor. Of course, I've done this style all of once, so take any advice I give with a pile of salt.
