Well I finally got this bad boy on tap and its pretty tasty. I love the sweet start with the malty finish that the decoction creates but does it get even better with age like most darker lagers?

this was optimal at around 2-3 months. It was amazingly complex and balanced by then

Only getting better with age, crystal clear and now I am wishing I made a 10 gallon batch instead of 5.

Great pic! I had to borrow it to show a few brewing friends what a dark lager can look like!

I plan on making this as my next brew and seeing how I have not done a lager yet I had a couple questions.Did you have to re-yeast after the 10 week lagering process? And did you bring the beer to a warmer temp before priming? I just have worries that the majority of yeast will have dropped out after being at 34 for like 10 weeks.

Brewed this on 2/4 and fermented at 50F with Wyeast 2206. Haven't had good of luck with the white labs 838. After decreased air lock activity of about 35 sec between burps, raised a deg F / day starting on 2/17 up to 56 F and held for 2 days here. Then took it back down to 35 over the next week in a similar fashion. Just put it on gas this weekend and it tastes great. My numbers were 1.060 to 1.017. One thing with Lagers you just have to be patient. Hopefully, you have made a starter and doubled it a couple of times. That always helps.

I keg my beer so don't know about activity of those little buggers after the long haul. Good Luck. BB
