I've only brewed twice since Easter, so I'm super excited to get one in today. Was planning a Zythos SMASH but don't quite have enough hops, so I'm going to bitter with magnum and use Zythos for everything else
Yeast and O2 are rarin' to go but can't pitch 'til it drops another 10°F.
Lagers are a bit of a pita...
Cheers!
4th of July weekend = my last chance to get my beer for my annual Oktoberfest party done with adequate time to lay them down and lager, so this weekend I will be brewing:
- a Munich Helles
- a Kloster Dunkel (modeled after Kloster Kreuzberg's house bier)
- a Bamberg-style Rauchbier, half of which will get oaked.
- a Bavarian Pils
My Oktoberfest has already been brewed and is lagering, so that's taken care of.
Yes, my annual Oktoberfest party is quite an event.
I gots da brewin' jones again, but my post-fermentation pipeline is backed up, no cold storage space left. I'm thinking a 10 gallon batch of pilsener can lager for 3-4 weeks in the ferm fridge while a couple of keg slots open up.
I do have some wy2206 yeast in the fridge I'll have to start building up...a lot...and half a bag of Briess pilsener malt...and some Saaz, Tettnanger, Hallertau...
Looks like a plan...
Cheers!
i am just about to start my boil for a partial mash attempt at a belgian ipa and begin planning a red ale (possibly ipa) for husker football season! :d![]()
