Altbier Kaiser Alt

[beertastic]

I brewed a single infusion BIAB version of this recipe and it turned out fantastic. Pitched a large starter at 58 and raised to 65 over the course of 4 days, and then held it there to ferment. Lagered for a few weeks after that. Will be brewing this one again in the future for sure.

Used a double decoction mash and really enjoyed trying a new process (especially with such great results).

This is now part of my permanent rotation. Thanks for the great recipe!

I brewed this great beer again, but this time my efficiency was through the roof. The OG was about 1.055. Should I just relax and call this a Sticke Alt?

What would be the best dry yeast for this recipe? Maybe Safale k-97?

I think I am going to use us-05.

I brewed and kegged three gallons of this and it came out great.
Single 60 minute infusion mash at 150 degrees.
RO water with some calcium chloride along with some added acid malt to the grain bill.
Spalt hops
One smack pack of 1007 (no starter) fermented at 64 for about a week before ramping up for finishing.

Thanks for this great recipe!
