Lagunitas Lucky 13. Wasn't paying attention to the 8.8%. Got a buzz real quick.

Sweet Baby Jesus. It's good to have friends in low places.

I have no clue. I searched their guidelines from 2015 but it didn't mention IPL under IPA or the specialty category. I'm assuming just IPA since you went the lager route. Their is an International Pale Lager category though. Check out their guidelines here...

I have three cases of 1-Liter glass growlers and am curious if someone has any good ideas on what to store them in? Each case came in a cardboard box and all of them are falling a part. Any thoughts?

So if it's not a partial mash then why am I mashing prior to boiling my wort? It sounds like I bought a ****ty Altbier kit in the first place but I'm still learning. My primary is in a carboy. The kit calls for a secondary but I've read a lot about people skipping the secondary since this Ale...

Would anyone recommend a secondary for this or should I keep it in the primary the whole time?

Good to know. This is a partial mash kit so I was curious. Most of it is mixed together already so I can remove any of the ingredients. I'm taking notes though.

It's a 5 gallon partial mash btw.

I'm brewing a German Amber Altbier and just curious if anyone would alter these ingredients at all? Cheers!

The joys of home brewing. There's only one way to find out 🤗
