Notes: My OG was 1.094 and FG was actually 1.014, both at 70 deg F for ABV of 9.7%
I used 1.5 cans (3.3 lb / can ) of Briess CBW Munich LME, also used 1 can (1 Can for brewing 6 gal) of Vienna Lager HME (Oktoberfest) with Yeast provided with the Vienna Lager, about 1 Tblsp of Amarillo Hops pellets (broken up) which was added at the end of the boiling time to let steep with wort and added to fermenter for more balanced flavor.
Pitched yeast with wort / water mixture @ 90 deg F (approx) which makes the initial fermentation process very hot, so prepare to keep it cooled down. Fermentation finished at 14 days, bottled at 18 days with plain white sugar @ 1/2 recommended quantity. Nice carbonation, body, and balance. Hops are noticeable but not overpowering with smoky notes and an extremely nice finish--non acidic, not too bitter, not too sweet, not too dry, AND a nice KICK.. |

This is a basic video on how to harvest yeast from a previous batch of beer. All you need are some pint mason jars which you can get at Walmart or online at Amazon very cheaply. After you have a beer that is done fermenting leave all of the yeast cake at the bottle. Boil 4 mason jars for 15 mins. Remove the mason jars and fill them with the boiled water. Let them come to room temperature. At this point add the water from the 4 mason jars into the bucket with the yeast cake and swirl the bucket for about 30 seconds and then let it sit for 20 mins. After the 20 mins pour off the yeast sediment into the jars and then let them sit for about 1 hour. After the hour pour off the top layer of sediment in the jars into 2 additional mason jars. Try to pour off just the cloudy top layer and leave the trub behind. This is your final product. Make a yeast starter with the 2 jars you have harvested for better results. |

Notes: enzymes in fermenter only.
cold house, very slow ferment expected.
despite 5 oz of hops, only a light hop flavor expected due to very low sugar content. very subtle flavor in last batch that was like dry champagne.
brew started 5/4/2021.
expected ferment time > 2 wks because last batch got bottled prematurely at 2 wks. |

Notes: 2nd effort with increased hops at 0 minutes with wort cooled to 80c before start of additions for more flavor and negligible IBU's.
Recipe adjusted for bottling i.e. OG left 5 points below required to allow for extra provided by bottling sugar. Same applies to ABV - adjusted for extra 0.5% at bottling.
Maris Otter LME.
Steep/mash in 2.5 litres of water at 66c+. Added first wort hops for last 20 minutes of steep but not in bag .
No lid for 30 minute hopstand - helped cool with ice additions while adding hops starting at 80c and every drop of 5c of hopstand - last added around 65c - then into fermenter with ice.
