I’ll have the pale ready for February. I told @Craigerrr I’d save one SB for then too. Told my basketball coaches I have an important meeting the last Saturday of February and there would be no make up games scheduled that day

I've got my Shady Bo lined up ready to brew either later today or early tomorrow. I'm taking a chance on a hop that I've never used before but sounded similar and tasty.
Shady Bohemian
Czech Dark Lager
4.9% / 11 °P
Recipe by
Bulin's Milker Bucket Brews
All Grain
Grainfather 110V
80% efficiency
Batch Volume: 5.75 gal
Boil Time: 60 min
Mash Water: 3.76 gal
Sparge Water: 3.86 gal
Total Water: 7.63 gal
Boil Volume: 6.79 gal
Pre-Boil Gravity: 1.041
Vitals
Original Gravity: 1.044
Final Gravity (Fixed): 1.007
IBU (Tinseth): 25
Color: 28 SRM
Mash
mash — 152 °F — 60 min
mash out — 168 °F — 10 min
Malts (8 lb 12 oz)
5 lb 12 oz (65.7%) — Pilsner Malt — Grain — 2 °L
1 lb 8 oz (17.1%) — Bonlander Munich Malt 10L — Grain — 7.9 °L
13 oz (9.3%) — Caramel Munich 60L — Grain — 44.9 °L
7 oz (5%) — Blackprinz — Grain — 369.7 °L
4 oz (2.9%) — Midnight Wheat Malt — Grain — 406.6 °L
Hops (77 g)
21 g (11 IBU) — Santiam 7.5% — Boil — 60 min
56 g (14 IBU) — Santiam 7.5% — Boil — 15 min
Miscs
1 items — Whirlfloc — Boil — 5 min
Yeast
23 g — Fermentis W-34/70 Saflager Lager 83%
Fermentation
Primary — 66 °F — 17 PSI — 10 days
Carbonation: 2.4 CO2-vol
Saaz may be used in place of Kazbek(equal ibu). 34/70, Diamond Lager, and M54 should work well as substitute yeasts. Carafa II(preferably dehusked) can sub for Blackprinz(or Midnight Wheat in a pinch, although Debittered Black may be a better sub for midnight wheat). I ferment it straight through at 66 degrees for 14 days, then lager for 3 weeks at 34(4-5 is better but, it is very drinkable at 3). Beer should be black in color with a thick light tan head, medium/full body with just a hint of chocolate, possibly slight toffee in the flavor with a clean finish.

Looks great to me, never used Santiam personally, will be interested in how it works.
Good luck!
Cool!
I'm just glad you guys(and gals) have enjoyed it. I'm FAR from a pro at this, but, I do think Shady Boh is pretty good.
I have 3 bombers left. Plan to enjoy one tomorrow.
I'm sure it'll do well!
Good luck man!
I've been struggling with a gas leak for more than a week. Thought I had it last week but no, it was 0 on Wednesday. Soapie water search continued. Looks good so on Sunday I went downstairs for a Superbowl pint. Oooooh noooo! 0 again. Shady Bohemian is carbed just no gas to push it out. Emergency trip to get a refill for another pint refill. Just turned gas on to pour a Shady Bohemian & turned gas back off. Monday dawned with a mission, Find that leak!
Started at the gas tank, soapie water shows leak at Regulator to gas tank joint. Investigated & found I had put the red disk in backwards & crushed the rib. Dashed to LHBS for 2 new red disks & installed one. Tank valve on, Regulator valve off. No leaks. Next check the rest of the hoses & Manifold. My gas tank is outside the fridge so I filled a bucket & put it in the fridge so I could dunk hoses, manifold & hoses with gas in Ball Locks, no leaks. Therefore, leak must be on the Keg or Kegs.
I filled the bathtub, pressurized the Kegs & dunked them, one at a time. No bubbles. I am left with only 1 potential culprit, O-rings on post. They didn't foam when I soapie tested the gas connects. I changed both O-rings on both Kegs in desperation. I returned the Kegs to the fridge & hooked them back up. Soapie Water test again with fingers crossed. No obvious leaks! Pressurized Kegs & turned off gas valve & watched low pressure gage. 20 min later Holding steady. Feeling brave I opened the tank valve, needles jumped to 850 & 12 PSI. Checked them every 20 min 3 times. Feeling more brave, ate dinner & checked again in 2 hrs. Still good. Did a little Victory Dance & went to bed. This AM checked again, still holding.
All these gyrations have delayed the Carbing of the Wayners APA. But we're back on line. All this has forced me to be patient while the Shady Bohemian was lagering. It is truly tastie & the Wayners is carbing, finally.
