Definitely love to try one, thanks for the chance inkbird!

It’s completely unnecessary-follow the original recipe, it’s quite good. Then if you want make changes when you brew again and see if they’re improved enough to warrant the changes.

Picked this up yesterday-I think I’m going to make some Oberon with mine-look at the date too-only 1 week old!

Necro thread I know... Just brewed this today-used the details of the recipe in the new BYO book I got as a gift for Christmas. Odd mash schedule listed IMHO, I did add some acid malt to bring the ph down. Pitched 2 rehydrated sachets of Zurich S-189 lager yeast from Fermentis once it cooled...

The folks at Brulosophy have used S-189 at traditional Ale fermentation temps in some experiments and had success

Anyone have a coupon code for Twistee Can?

Great looking color for your Maibock-thanks for the post!

Happy to try and help-let us know how it turns out.

US-05 and 1056 are supposed to be the same yeast-and is also supposed to be the same as WLP001 as in the recipe-but I agree-use the liquid now before it ages in the smack pack any longer if you have it on hand.

Do they have CaraPils? If not them just replace with base malt equal weight-mashed at the Same temp in the recipe Cara Pils/foam is supposed to give better head retention and mouthfeel-but I’m not sure this recipe needs it with a 154F mash, and the other Cara malt-those two thing should be...

I think either of those would be ok, I might go with the US-05 just to let the malt and hop character shine thru rather than muddying it up any with an English yeast-but maybe you want that complexity-your call. Should be delicious either way-let is know what way you go and how it turns out!

My kegs (usually have 2 in the kegerator, sometimes one partial in the fridge on a picnic tap) last about 2-3 months. And that’s what my consumption well up with ‘stay at home’, previously it was 3-4 months. When you think about it though, a keg (~50 beers) isn’t really that much-one beer a...

If only I were closer-damn...

I’d be interested in the other two, if you can ship as described. Ill send you a PM as you advised above.

Pre dissolving it does that yes, and also make sure it mixes with the kegged beer easier and more completely-otherwise your just trusting it will dissolve in that amount of liquid over time-it may or it may not, and if it doesn’t it isn’t having the clearing effect you added it for and it may...

thanks again for the info and tips, I’ll have to try one or both of those.

Thanks for the reply-it definitely makes sense for you to go with what you like and works for you-that’s what HB is all about after all! Do you pitch one or two sachets of S-189? Just one more thing, you mention having had past failures at Pilsner with W43/70 then having the fruity flavor that...

Can I ask what happened with W34/70 to you/your beer? How did you use/ferment it? What does S-189 do or offer that W34/70 doesn’t?

Well said beersk

I probably haven’t been around long enough to find them-then Agni don’t go looking for them either. I can’t grasp “hate” for any person/source/entity who is genuinely trying to provide informational brewers and brewing and better the understanding of the art and science behind it so that we can...
