I'm brewing the following recipe on Sunday.
10.5 lbs. Vienna malt (whatever they have at the LHBS--probably American)
0.75 oz. Northern Brewer @ 60 min.
0.5 oz. Northern Brewer @ 20 min.
0.75 oz. Northern Brewer @ 5 min.
Imperial Organics Cablecar (the Anchor Steam Beer strain)
Ferment @ 60, ramp up to 62, and primary for 4 weeks. No lagering.
Any advice as to what would make this a great or better beer? I was thinking of mashing for 60 minutes at 150. I've heard maybe one should do a protein rest with American Vienna? If so, maybe I'll figure out how to do that.
Other ideas/suggestions? I'm open to recipe tweaks as well.
