Notes: Fermented at 55 for about a week and then gradually raising the temperature
10.7.25 . Efficiency low at 70%, perhaps boil off wasn't strong enough, I was low on propane. The starter worked well. Pitched at about 60° and quickly cooled to 55°
Made a 1 gallon+ starter on 2 gallon jugs of approx 1.25OG wort and a sprinkle in each I like sprinkling of dry Diamond yeast, saving the rest of the pack. I will decant and pitch with somewhat minimal beer.
Changed carapils to Great Chit and adjusted ounces down to whole ounces, and the pounds of Avalon up to an even .2 pounds.
MODIFYING TO RIVERBEND MALT AND HOPS I LIKE ON HAND. Hops are aged so giving utilization of 89%. At 100% the IBU would be close to 20IBU so this should be fine, and hopefully not too low. 34/70 has higher attenuation so don't mash over 60 minutes, or mash mash at higher temp like 154 and go for 75 - 90 minutes.

Notes: Hodgepodge of ingredients to make a dark lager sorta in the vein of a schwarzbier. Using remaining Munich and Vienna which should get around 40% of the grist to get a little more malty notes to balance out the carafa special II (or at least that's what I think the dark malt I have is). Using 2-row for the rest of the base malt to save the Sekado Pils for true Czech Pils.
Will mash the dark grains the last 15-20 minutes of the mash/mashout. Definitely want a little bit of the flavor and not just the color. Trying a full volume mash to see how efficiency is and to speed up/simplify 5-6 gallon batches.
Saaz through boil and upping the sulfate to enhance crispness/dryness and make sure their is enough bitterness. Using home water again to see how it does with a lager.
Fast ferment method using a healthy pitch/starter from Adam at Methods (34/70). 52 for 4-5 days then up 3 deg/day until low to mid 60s do D-rest. Once it passes force test ramp down 5-8 deg/day/12 hours. Use biofine and lager. May use another bump of biofine in keg. Trying to turn around in 4 weeks for Groundhog brewfest. |
