The Imperial Maibock Temperature Log
The Early Spike: The fermentation started aggressively and spiked up to 64 early on.
The Main Ferment: We pulled it back down and stabilized the core fermentation right around 58 to keep those classic, clean lager characteristics intact and prevent fusel alcohols.
The Diacetyl Rest: Once the gravity dropped significantly, we stepped it up to 65 for a full week-long rest to ensure the yeast completely cleaned up any residual diacetyl or sulfur
Lagering: It was then transferred to the keg for cold crashing and a lagering. |

Notes: Low-alcohol traditional Australian beer. Not lagered because homebrewing. Amazingly using 25% of the malt did result in it being low alc just like that, not watery, just pale colour, distinct Carlton Draught-like lingering taste.
45 min 69C mash for medium to full body. Trying to avoid a 1% beer feeling thin.
Not sold on the aroma hop choice, requires testing. Do CUB just use Pride at boil and nothing else? Or again late?
--- 21/1/26 It's still conditioning, but there's nothing on the nose. More than 10g Saaz is an option, but next go around I will double down and aroma hop with Pride of Ringwood. Next batch will also introduce smoked malt to add another bogan dimension. Carbonate more than 2.25 vols next time. Also adding Carafoam to help produce head foam.
-- 6/03/26 Pride was not a good choice for aroma hop. It's muggy with some citrus, but Saaz produced such a nicer beer. |
