What the hell are 3 or 4 malta?
You know that Malta malts
I try my best.You know that Malta malts
The lager I'm brewing today has one malt in it Rice Malt lol
Honestly though if I go look at my lagers I brewed with Barley would be pilsner Munich/Vienna then caramunich or a smidge of midnight wheat or roasted barley for the colour adjustment.
Yeah yeah I read your not using roasted malts lol.
You do you
Liking this recipe a lot. I know you’re waiting for the ideal temps, but I can’t wait to hear how you make out with this.
The utter simplicity is a great feature, and I am looking forward to making it. One of the things that I enjoy so much about homebrewing is crafting my own recipes. Granted I researched and asked for help here, but the recipe is my own. It will be brewed sooner than later, and I will keep you all informed of my of my progres.
This would explain one of my brews based on @Bulin's Milker Bucket Brews 3-Day Weekend. I did two identical batches back to back, but forgot the D-Rest on the first one because I was trying to build some inventory. Almost didn't need any popcorn to go with the beer watching TV. The second tasted very different despite using the same recipe, simply because I raised the temperature a bit for a couple days after activity in the airlock stopped trying to push the FG down a bit, then started dropping it back down. It was one of the best brews I've ever done. I like popcorn, and I like beer, so both were winners in my book, but I just couldn't figure out how the two of them could taste so different. Now if I can just duplicate the process ....
Are you saying that SMaSH recipes are good candidates for first tries at lagering?
recipe looks nice! let us know how it turns out! Might add some Flaked Oats to for body and head retention, but that might be my own personal obsession lol.
Brewing notes are super important! I reference previous batches all the time. When i do something different during a brew or during fermentation, I try to note it. I have notes on every brew that i have done. at my previous employer we had YEARS of brew and Fermentation logs.
I agree, I've spent 3 years trying to replicate my perfect pale ale, never have to date, would have been nice to have a cheat sheet
They sure as hell are. My first was 2 grains, but very little of the second and some flaked corn. One hop with 60 and 10 additions. It was tasty as hell.
I would say more important. You can take ok ingredients and make good beer if the process is solid
This is very true. A good lager is more about the process than about the ingredients. A good lager is made in the fermentation and to a lesser degree, the mash. Watch the post fermentation as well, oxygen ingress has spoiled a lot of good beer.
