I read you could use up to 1/3 Munich malt, unless that was a lighter Munich.

Yeah, that was a mistake on my part. I thought I read somewhere you could use a Munich yeast in a Vienna. One of the local brew shops has dry Brewferm Lager yeast that I'm going to use instead. I've tweaked the recipe a bit since I found the brewer's friend site. Right now the recipe is: 2 lb...

The brewer's friend site is a great learning tool. Will definitely help me out.

Thank you. Do you have another hop suggestion that would lower the IBU?

I've been reading Palmer's book for a week or so. There's a lot to digest. Thank you for the website info too.

This will only be my second brew so I have no clue how to calculate the IBU, I'm just going by what I've seen online and what I've read about the hops. Total newbie at this.

I can do a regular Lager yeast then. I'm open to suggestions on the hop boil as well.

This is the recipe I've come up with after seeing your advice and reading other recipes on this forum/online. Please let me know if I'm totally off base. For ONE gallon. Looking for a Vienna closer to the lower end of it's IBU guideline (around 20). Malt: Vienna 3.5: 2 lbs 86% Munich...

Would I need to do anything special to the yeast before I pitch it? I've seen some people say that you need to when doing a lager/vienna

Thanks so much. Great info, I appreciate it.

What would I need for grain crushing? Is it something I can get at a brew shop and what would it cost?

The kit I had was a pretty small and basic one. It only came with a 1 gallon glass carboy.

It might be asking too much, but I'm so new to brewing that do you have more details about the actual brewing of this recipe? The kit I had was great because it walked me through the whole process from mash to fermentation. If you don't want to post that, I totally understand. I just kind of...

I'm pretty confident I can handle the necessary low fermentation temps. I live in the northeast and my basement stays in the 50s during the winter. Also, I have a spare kegerator which can easily fit a 1 gallon carboy. Thank you!

Thank you! I figured you could divide by 5 but I assumed it couldn't be that easy.

Thank you! Have you tried doing that with all vienna malt?

This is my first post on HBT so I apologize in advance for any missteps. Just recently brewed for the first time. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience although I have yet to sample my creation. I brewed an IPA which came in a ready-made kit by Brooklyn Brew Shop (all grain). Unfortunately I'm...
