Too late to save my big Doppelbock?

Earlier this spring I brewed a big doppelbock (OG 1.102). I started with Norther Brewer's doppelbock extract kit and added some extra DME and some light brown sugar to up the gravity. Right before it...

It's been quite a while since I've had one, but most everyone that tried it really liked it. Considering it was one of my first few brews, I was very pleased. Even some people that don't typically...

This thread inspired me to try something like this. I don't do all-grain yet, but I used Norther Brewer's Speckled Heifer Cream Ale partial mash kit (I did BIAB) and added jalapenos as described in...

I have not kegged this before, but I'm sure that would be just fine. However, I would age it on oak in secondary for a few months, then keg within a few weeks of when you want to serve it.

Do you roast and soak all of the pepper the day before brewing, then leave half there until time to add them to secondary, or do your roast/soak again the day before secondary?

Lol, the "bubbles per minute" table would be nice! I do have a hydrometer, I just generally only use it right before pitching and when packaging. Due to a combination of fear of contamination and...

From what you've said, you're at almost 87% apparent attenuation, which is quite high. Unless you added a very large amount of corn sugar or the like to the wort, I would guess that you've got some...

So about 10 days after pitching my 3L starter of Wyeast 2206 Bavarian Lager to my Bavarian Dunkel (NB kit) I removed it from my temp controlled fridge and placed it in my basement closet where it...

SumnerH, I saw the "Ancho Villa Ancho/pasilla/chocolate/cinnamon RIS)" in your signature and am intrigued. It sounds sort of along the lines of New Belgium's Cocoa Mole, which I love. Some time I'd...

Thanks for the input!

I'm using Wyeast 2206 Bavarian Lager. I've been debating using the yeast cake or collecting and repitching as you described, I'm thinking I'll do the latter.

I should be...

Any thoughts?

Alternatively, I could put it in my freezer when ready, but with the temp controller monitoring the dopplebock in primary in the fridge, I won't be able to carefully drop the temp a...

Delaying lagering, any negative side-affects?

I'm planning on brewing a Bavarial Dunkel in a few weeks and was thinking that rather than wasting the yeast when this is done in primary, I'd like to do a dopplebock and maybe pitch onto the yeast...

I'm guessing the 10 degree drop didn't do your yeast any favors, and the additional expected drop in temp won't help either. Most likely your yeast are sleeping on the bottom. It sounds like you had...

I'd leave them alone. Besides risking infection, if the yeast are done fermenting the priming sugar, there wouldn't be any additional CO2 produced after re-capping so it might end up relatively flat....

I just went with 3.7 oz corn sugar for priming. I just tried my first one have 3 weeks in the bottle and it was nice. I think this style benefits from lower carbonation. It wasn't flat, but didn't...
