♦ SESSION NOTES: Screwed up the last ingredient of Special B at 32 ounces and should have been maybe 3 OZ. This cause the SRM to way over scale. This is going to be a dark beer. (140 - 155 L) Castle - The darkest of the Belgian crystal malts, Special B will impart a heavy caramel taste and is often credited with the raisin-like flavors of some Belgian Abbey ales. Larger percentages (greater than 5%) will contribute a dark brown-black color and fuller body.

♦ RECIPE NOTES:
I like to use hybrid yeasts to make lagers, particularly WLP029 German Ale/Kolsch, despite concerns expressed by others I would never get that “crisp lager character” using such a method. Well, I used the following recipe to make a beer that took 1st place in its division in a local BJCP comp with a score of 40 points. Not one judge mentioned anything about the beer not tasting like a traditional lager. The key is pitching a big, fresh starter and keeping fermentation cooler than White Labs recommends for the first few days.

Notes: Beer has heavy vanilla aroma, due to the bourbon and vanilla. Slight smokeyness from the bourbon chips with a full body. Well balanced and well received from my friends.

Notes: Grist inspired by Trillium.

Planing slightly bigger batch than usual to account for hop loss.

Efficiency post whirlpool including hop loss.

A04 + A20 is the same as A24 dry hop yeast, but that's hard to find. https://www.reddit.com/r/Homebrewing/comments/6dchwt/excellent_service_from_keystone_homebrew_supply/

Pitched at 70F, fermented in drheld's storage cellar (low 70s?).

Drheld says it's too sweet. 50% more bittering hops next time? Or actually whirlpool rather than sticking in the chiller in immediately? Alternatively, cut the crystal malt out?

Notes: Recipe adapted from Jen Talley, given during a podcast (Brewstrong, I think?).

Use two packs dry yeast, rehydrated. If not Mangrove Jack’s M84, can use Saflager 34/70, or WLP830 or Wyeast 2124 liquid yeast.. All are the same Weihenstephan strain, as far as I know.
