Just finished up 10 gals of my vienna lager. OG around 1.070. This is probably the 6th time I made this one. I have started leaving it in the fermenter for at least 3 weeks, I can really tell the difference in the taste when it gets some extra time.
I brewed the Lagunitas Brown Shugga clone today using 2 vials of WL002 English Ale (ESB strain), I pitched the yeast at 5:00 pm, by 9:30 pm there was activity in the airlock, this has to be the shortest lag time/fastest acting yeast that I've used so far.
It's the wind that sucks. I put a wind shield around my burner, but it's still a pain in the ass.
That's why I'm not brewing today.... Grrrrrr
This damn wind..Damn you!!
Brew some for me!
Bout ready to boil in below zero temps...WTF!!! Don't make me go out there!!!
I'm flirting with the idea of doing my red hook all grain clone on Saturday. Empty carboys fill me with anxiety.
