Finished up my second batch today, brewing a traditional bock recipe from my LHBS (Bull City Homebrew), it reads:

1 lb LME Ilsen Light (Briess)
6lb, 6oz LME Munich (Briess)
8 oz Caramuch III (Wyermann)
8 oz Caraaroma (Wyermann)
8 oz Melanoidin (Wyermann)
1 oz Nugget hops (60 min boil)
1 oz UK Kent Golding hops (@30 min)
1 pkg SafLage West European Lager S-23

Steeped grains for 30 min, brought to boil, added extract and Nugget hops, added Kent Golding hops at 30 min, used the wort chiller to get it under 70F, added the yeast and its now in the basement in the 6.5g carboy primary.

Recipe called for OG of 1.068, I got 1.063 w/temp correction.

Here's hoping batch #2 goes as planned...:mug:
 
Fermentation is started, keeping this batch ~60F as advied by my LHBS owner...

+1 to Bull City Homebrew. Just got my stuff from there on Sunday and brewed my second batch.
 
60º is pretty high for a lager. Can you get it down to 48-50º?

No, still looking for a chest freezer to get temps down lower than my basement stays. Why the LHBS owner changed the yeast to allow a higher temp. Technically, I guess its more of an ale than a lager.

I'm on a daily search for a reasonable chest freezer so I can put together a true lager...
 
Moved the batch into the $50 chest freezer, controlled by the ebay controller. Siting at 2.2 C (37 F) for 3 more weeks.

Good thing the first batch is done and tasting fantastic, all is good on the home brew front...:mug:
