For the record, this is the best beer I have made to date. Smooth and very very close to the real thing. This will be in the regular rotation in my brew house for sure. Thanks for all the great info and helping me improve my technique.. Next up cream of three crops..
Great to hear! Did you use the recipe from post #1?
I used a protein rest, first time I've done this:
Protein rest: 75min @ 135F
Sachrification: 45min @ 152F
After about 2 weeks in the bottle mine is developing quite nicely. I hope I'll be able to keep some around for a while.
