I had intentions of making a lager with sapphire, i stumbled upon your thread, and to bitter i have a limited amount of mostly armerican hops, what do you think if i got 15-20 ibus from Warrior hops, they are suppose to be nuetral and clean. For bittering. maybe aroma with the sapphire also.

This beer was most excellent. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'm going to get started on another batch shortly.

I brewed this beer back on Oct 13th and just tried the first one last night. WTF?! This beer is effing incredible! I'm sure it wasn't my skill that made this beer so yummy.

Thanks for sharing the recipe! I'll definitely brew this one again. I was thinking of converting the recipe to all grain. Anyone already have one?

I posted a picture below but it's not coming up for some reason...

My lager turned out really good with the Warrior for bittering and sapphire for finishing. I also used about the same amount of crystal malt but it was a variation of a little bit of carapils,crystal 15,and aromatic. Didnt do the honey though.With a bit of wheat and victory also.But it was a partial mash with Pilsner malt also. One of my best beers,i just undercarbed a little bit thanks to the confusion of the temp variable priming calculator.
