So I am looking to use up as much of my remaining grain as i can. I will be putting it on a draft line that has 3 kegs in front of it so it will be a while before it gets on draft. For that reason i was thinking that it should be a lager since i will have an appropriate amount of time to lager it.

I have a wide variety of grain on hand including 2 bags of red X. I have about 165#s of 2 row to use up so it can be strong(preferably below 7% though)

I have on draft:
Double Juicy IPA brewed with Guava and Lime at 9%abv
Oatmeal Porter @ 5.7%
Session IPA @5.1%
Mango/lime Sour @ 5.2%
Golden Lager @ 5%
Rye Lager @ 5.7% <--This is the line that would be replaced
Juicy IPA @ 6.4% followed by Belgian Tripel brewed with Blackberries and Lemon @8.2%
Red Ale @ 5.4% followed by a Lightly Smoked Vienna Lager @5.6%


I was thinking about using atleast 1 bag of Red X and making a 6.2-6.8% dark red lager?

I was also looking at ESBs or something along that side but fermenting it with munich lager yeast and giving it a nice long lager. This would sort of become a german lager i guess???

Looking for cool interesting lager recipe ideas!

I would like to brew this on Friday if possible!

That blows my mind...but unfortunately im really having to make a lager due to my draft system being full.

Also looking at this storm so im probably going to be pushing this brew off till next week.
 
Haven't done a Bock. I think lots of the German lagers like to have some Vienna too. I like the idea of a good Pilsner in a German beer over 2 row. But, an American Pre Pro with some corn with 2 row or 6 row :)
 
How does this look for a pre pro inspired lager?

This is my year around golden lager

This is one i did a little while ago. Big golden ale

I think i might make a different more traditional version of the pre pro because that will leave me with enough grain to brew a big red lager as well.

Smaller Pre Pro beer. Simpler recipe

I might ferment this out with Apex Berlin lager yeast instead of Munich and run it cold maybe 54F??

I actually have compared the same recipe side by side(that golden lager above) and could not tell the difference, in that recipe. I generally buy 2row instead of pilsner. it generally has a higher DP and a little more sugar.
 
I think a big (8%ish) hoppy red lager.
Tons of American C hops in the boil and whirlpool only.

Ya I think I have enough grain for both a kolsch/golden lager of some variety and a big red beer.

I have 110# of redX that I need to use as well as I would have about 65#s of 2row left after the other brew. Throw some dark crystal/spec x and some roasted in there.

Probably shoot for 7% since anything over 7.5% I serve in a smaller glass.

I like the idea of a pale red imperial lager. Easy! Probably 35-45 ibus just a little columbus to bitter and then I have some Chinook/citra/cascade?
