Finally got off my duff and brewed the Schwarzbier/Ale experiment. Did them as small beers (1.038), the Schwarzbier uses Saflager dried and the other WL London Ale yeast.
Mini-mash
1.25 lb. German Pilsner
0.50 lb. C90L
1.25 lb. Munich malt
0.25 lb. Carafa III (de-husked)
Mash-in 2.5 gallons @ 160F -> 154F for 60 minutes
4 lbs Dark liquid extract
1 lb. Munich "
1 oz. Northern Brewer @ 60
0.5 Saaz @ 15 & 5
Split the wort and topped off to 1.038 (about 3.5 gallons in each fermenter) Pitched them both at 75F, but I'll let them drift down to 70F. The lager goes in the aging cabinet (currently 48F) once the ferment starts.
I'm planning on making some Dwarfish Drop Scones with part of the spent grains.
