Hello, I'm just joining the home brew world and I thought I'd introduce myself and my first brew that I began the other day.
I'm trying to make an American Pilsner using saaz hops and lagering in my freezing cold (53 degree) long island basement.
I'm using a 6 gallon vintage carboy, a red rubber cap, a red top airlock, grey goose vodka in the airlock
and very strict measurements and note-taking to ensure that every aspect of the process is covered (and able to be duplicated just in case its amazing beer.)
I took lots of pictures which I'll post sooner or later and I'm monitoring the process via a webcam I installed.
Has anyone tried to make one of these? Any recommendations?
From my research and deductive reasoning I have determined that I will:
1. ferment the wort in the primary for 9-14 days
2. rack the beer into another glass carboy for a secondary 3-14 days
3. force carbonate to avoid sediment
Sound good?
