Zambi's Primitive Pils....catchy name
Transferred my Munich Lagerbier. 98% Weymerman Munich II and 2% Melanoidan. 33 IBU of Tettanger. I always have an extra pint or two fresh off the fermenter.
Now for the taste. The rest will be lagered of course. It’s super malty with a nice floral spice from the hops. Clean finish, well attenuated. Really tasty to a malt head like me. The extra hops above a typical Dunkel make this really nice imo. We’ll see what a month in the fridge does.

I was real good and managed to save sample bottle 2 for today.
Better picture as well and improved taste. Head is pretty terrible, but that could also be carbonation.
I moved another bottle to the fridge. Carbonation seems much better now, based on the squeeze test
Taste is pretty good. Starting to taste fruity instead of only sweet
Not sure if I mentioned before but this is a 100 % pilsner, fermented at (too) high temperature. (styrian & saaz hop)

That reminds me, I should try 1 tonight before bringing a case into work potluck tomorrow. Ya know, quality control and whatnot
A little Munich Lagerbier from the fermenter.

They had Samuel Adams Oktoberfest on sale, guess they are trying to clear the shelves. Picked up a couple of 12 packs while all of my beer bottle conditions for another week or two.

It sure as hell will. I usually like a little haze to my beer anyway.

Sharing with my wife the last bottle of our simple cider. Time to make some more.

Another 100 % pilsner M47.
Taste is moorish.
Head retention not great, but my test bottles (pet) show that carbonation is getting there. i'll put some more bottles cold tomorrow morning.
Followed by simple cider

Once you get used to your bottles, you won't need to do the PET thing if you can get a manual capper. I like using the long necks because I can fill about to the same spot every time. If you are using table sugar, calculate and measure the equivalent of 5 oz of corn sugar for your bottling bucket. That seems to work. For a Belgian, I would carb it the full 14 days, for others around 11 seems to work.
I did screw up carbonating a Belgian getting used to a new kitchen scale. My last two have been spot on once I got used to the piece of shi*t.
Hard to like that. But you are known waterproof!
Lovely bubbles on your cider. My wife and I need to perfect our cider game.

I like filling 1 or 2 pet bottles. My carbonation takes place in a cooler box. Outside temperatures fluctuate tremendously so a little squeeze gives a lot of info
