Usually after the second glass.

Here's a recipe from Jamil's book. This looks pretty straight. Wyermann's has a 5-6L Munich which sounds better to me for this beer. Any thoughts? 10# Pilsner (I'll use Weyermann's) 0.75 # Munich Malt 9L 4 AAU Hallertau - 60 minutes (Add a touch of hops at knock out.) Single decoction to...

Nice tip. I definitely get a faint hint of hops tickling the nose with the Weihenstephaner. This beer is excellent btw, if you haven't had it. It has really sparked my interest in Light German Lagers.

Awesome feedback guys. Yeah, i was going to pull at least one decoction. Keep the specialty malts low, got it.

Uh....I feel really stupid right now. btw, i had a friend who brews BW's taste my "infected" batch and he said it tastes like a flat young Barleywine. I'm not totally convinced but I am hopeful.

Alas, it is finally time for me to unsubscribe from this fine thread. Good luck to everybody and congrats to Edwort, who's name is likely legendary in many prisons and Frat houses. I'm sure many-a-panty has fallen to the evil beverage. KD

Thanks for that link. If I don't get anywhere on the recipe, i will just try to find a basic Helles recipe and use that yeast.

Does anyone know a good recipe for this beer? A good bready Helles; I think WY2124 is the yeast from this brewery. Thanks KD

I think it depends on the beer, but two to three months seems about right IMO. You can age bigger beers longer and dry hop in the keg of course. But generally speaking I agree that you want to enjoy them relatively young. As Vinnie says on his Pliny The Elder botlles. "Do Not Age This Beer"...

Thanks for the post. I brew lots of ales, but few lagers and was wondering about any issues in the cone. It seems to be a non-event though. Thanks.

Ok got it. I used 10 tip and they are fine, just not great. I hear they are running more $ than the 20 tip though. Anyway, if you are going low pressure or NG there isn't a lot of choice out there.

Progress on what burners?

Did you stir the wort thoroughly before taking the pre-boil reading? Are you sure you had 7 gallons? What was your boil time? Did you use software to calculate?

Today's brew. This is how I do a decoction. First I find a friend who is willing to stir the decoction...........hehe........nice vids kai.

I think a mechanical whirlpool would be way better than the march pump variety. Don't get me wrong, it's fine and I use the Jamil type system, but I think a mechanical whirlpool will get your break isolated more efficiently since it's not being sucked out of the drain and through your pump. It...

Anybody know if there is any disadvantage to fermenting lagers in a conical? Or should I ask if there is any advantage to a flat bottomed vessel for lagers? :) Thanks KD

I use 153F. I just kegged and carbed one. should be great in a week or two.

Why don't you just go ahead and make the beer and order the dry hop simcoe. I can send you some if you can't get it.
