1st time trying this, not sure it is worth the hype.
 
Just got back from the beach for the last week and decided to try this HB altbier out. Been 2 weeks in the keg and carbing/conditioning. Didn’t use anything for fining other than standard whirlfloc . So seems to have a bit of chill haze rn. Very tasty and malt/bitterness well balanced. Going to let it condition for another two weeks and try again, rinse and repeat. I do like this style though. Lighting sucks due to no sun today so not the best beer porn pics

You're just trying to get through to the Vienna Lager, ain't cha? Round here, they sell a semi-pi$$ poor excuse for a Vienna Lager called Yuengling ( vitamin Y to the locals ) but hey, it's hella better than Budweiser. Miller or Coors for the same price! BTW that beer is as clear as a hooker's intentions!

I like to think my Vienna lager is the :goat:.
I have a new yeast I’m going to try… hopefully it’s still great.
 
Tell me more... what yeast? I usually cheat and use Voss or Lutra and pitch @90F
I normally use dry 34/70 @ 55°. I’ve been chasing a flavor I taste in nearly all commercial German beers I’ve tried. After a little research, I’m going to give liquid Imperial L17 Harvest a try.

Heard good things about L17 .. I've done an Oktoberfest at almost RT with 34/70 and turned out really nice

You should do an exbeeriment and try a 90F pitch batch with dried Lutra sometime just to see if the cold fermentation is worth all that trouble .. I pitched Lutra in today's Shwartzbier at 90F about 5 hours ago and it's already "blorping"
