Lager week 2 Still going strong, maybe a little slower than I was told, but that's ok. Temp is about 41 deg. I keep a small jar of water in there and use a probe thermometer to read water temp. I would have liked to lager it warmer by 10 degrees, but I don't see an issue yet. I am down to...

Now for the funny part. I measured the water jug before I bought it. I knew it would be tight. I filled it with beer and the damn door would not close. It basically looked pregnant after I filled it with wort. I have ratcheting straps for hauling stiff on my open trailer. Problem...

After purchasing a Vienna Lager kit online I had to come up with just how do I lager it? First, the recipe: Kit had .25 lb Caravienne malt and .06 Dehusked Carafa II This got the usual 150 deg steep for 20-30 minutes. 3.15 lbs Munich Malt LME 3 lbs Pilsen light DME The standard, 3 gallons...

I watched a video or two about this and plan to give it a try in a few weeks. Steep 1/2 lb of caramunich and vienna for color This will get a 15 minute boil for my bittering hops, 1oz Magnum add at end of boil for flavor and aroma: 2 oz Citra 2 oz Azacca 2 oz Moteuka 3.5 lbs DME top to 2.75...

I'm thinking along the same lines. I recently bought some Voss Kveik liquid yeast and want to try it on a pale ale with German Hops. Due to space, lagering is nearly impossible even for a small batch, <3 gal, but I am looking for that smooth taste and the slight sweet Marzen we get from...

Well this started out as a Pale Ale using German hops Mandarina Bavaria and Hull Melon from Yakima's wonderful hop box. It's a quarterly shipment (every 3 months) and you get 8 different hops, 2 oz each. So, I decided to try something 'different'. 6lbs 2 -row 4lbs Marris Otter 1lb Carapils...

Ok. My base recipe for this one was brewed about 6 weeks ago and I hopped with Mandarina Bavaria and Hull Melon. I called it a German-American pale ale. Ended up being about 7% and near 50 IBU. It came out dry and is a little more bitter than I wanted, so thinking of cutting back the...

Started homebrewing back in the mid 1990's and never had the sucess I wanted. Decided to get back into it in 2019 and currently on my 11th batch of beer. Moved into all grain brewing and making due with the equipment I have. I've had some real good beers and with the help of the internet...

Planning on making something similar, but I was going to use 1/2 oz Magnum to bitter and then whirlpool Motueka, Amarillo and Citra. I only have 1 oz of Amarillo and 2 oz of Motueka, but a ton of Citra. The Magnum will get me a little over 32IBU and I'm looking for a huge hit in flavor and...
