So I did it to myself again. Brewed a moderately big beer, intending a double dunkel (I know, I made it up). No time all week for a nice big starter, so I popped a wyeast activator before brewing. (I did take the otherwise good advice of my brewing store owner here). Pack did not swell, but they say go ahead and pitch it anyway. After 48 hours+, no activity, so I pitched 1 pack of us 05.
Here's the question. This was going to be a German Lager:
14.5# Munich
.5# Carafe
.5# Cara-pils
OG 1.078
Wyeast Munich Lager
IBU 40
Now it's an Ale. Does it resemble any real style? What would you call it? Dark Munich Bastard?
Forgot. This is the second time I've fallen for the smack pack routine.
