It's been a productive week in the brewery because work has been an unproductive cluster, so I nabbed the chance to brew twice this week. That means it's as humid as a sauna in my apartment, so no pictures of clear beer today!
Kegged this batch of Panther Piss
Paleo Vulgaris on Monday, I made it with Jasper Yeast's* Franconian Lager Yeast, a heritage strain of German lager yeast that died out in the 1960s. Nothing to report, it tastes like lager yeast.
Here's a glass of Panther Piss Classic IV LODO (softer water) v.4.6, or whatever Beersmith calls it.
And a glass of that over-hopped Helles that I like because it isn't a proper Helles.
*Bug your LHBS about carrying Jasper yeast, they're a startup out of N. Virginia that packages absolutely massive pitches at the same price as W. Yeast, Omega, and Imperial. I
direct pitched this lager. That's how big they are, they are massive. Granted, it was a sluggish fermentation, but no worse than two packets of dry yeast. That is amazing!
