Dry hopped my milkshake IPA with 2 oz. Mosaic cryo, 1 oz each of Vic Secret and Lemondrop. Plus 1 vanilla bean and the vodka it had been soaking in.
Wut fer? [emoji12]Tueday night I created my largest yeast starter ever for my first lager in my absurdly large 5L flask.
LOL, I thought someone might be curious...since I like to challenge myself, my first lager is going to be a doppelbock using a hochkurz double decoction mash. It's one of the styles that turned me into a beer geek and one I've always wanted to do properly. I spent a significant amount of time reading about it, but you can only read so much, so it's time for doing!Wut fer? [emoji12]
You said lager, what beer, how big is it?

Moved cars around and set up my equipment for an early brew day tomorrow. Doing another version of Racer 5, the LHBS's I frequent don't carry the Belgian Caramel Pils so subbed in carafoam instead just for the heck of it. Grain weighed out, all I have to do in the morning is run the water and heat it up. Will be the first use of my brand spanking new plate chiller too.
