After reading a beerxperiment using 34/70 lager yeast at ale temperatures without any off flavors, decided to test this myself by creating this simple, but tasty brew to detect any unwanted flavors. Here are the details:
Recipe Specifications
--------------------------
Boil Size: 7.75 gal
Post Boil Volume: 6.25 gal
Batch Size (fermenter): 5.50 gal
Bottling Volume: 5.00 gal
Estimated OG: 1.045 SG
Estimated Color: 3.3 SRM
Estimated IBU: 18.5 IBUs
Brewhouse Efficiency: 70.00 %
Est Mash Efficiency: 76.4 %
Boil Time: 90 Minutes
Ingredients:
9 lbs 8.0 oz Pilsner (2 Row) Ger (2.0 SRM)
1.00 oz Hallertauer Mittelfrueh [4.00 %] Boil for 60 minutes
1.10 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 mins)
0.50 oz Hallertauer Mittelfrueh [4.00 %] Boil for 10 minutes
0.50 oz Hallertauer Mittelfrueh [4.00 %] Boil for 5 minutes
1.0 pkg Saflager Lager (DCL/Fermentis #W-34/70)
I mashed at 148 for 60 minutes and fermented for 2 weeks @ 65 degrees before cold crashing with gelatin. After force carbing, this beer went grain to glass in 3 weeks and is excellent. Also, I hit 75% efficiency, causing an OG of 1.051 yieilding 5.2% ABV.
Enjoy,
Joe
