Notes: Note, if using this recipe, that the mash/sparge volumes accommodate about 1/2 gallon of cherry puree added at the end of primary fermentation. My target was to keg 5 gallons.

Add cocoa powder at flameout. A little worried about 8 oz of cocoa, may add 1/2, test and add more if needed, just in case.
Update here, added all 8oz @ whirlpool. It seemed like all the cocoa dissolved, but after the kettle drain the trub cone was very chocolatey. I added another maybe 1oz or so directly into the fermenter. Just in case.

Adding yeast directly onto wort, might rehydrate one pack and sprinkle the other. Rehydrated both packs of yeast because my fermenter volume was a little low, so rehydrated in 1/2L of H20.

Plan to ferment somewhere in the low 60s. Started at 62.

Add cherry purée as primary fermentation ending. Adding the cherry brought the gravity from 1.014 back up to 1.027, and then very quickly started fermenting back down.

The ABV on this is closer to like 5.2-5.8% (depending on the sugar in the cherry purée used). The recipe builder doesn’t calculate it because it’s a fermenter addition.

As I was kegging this up from the fermenter, about the last 1/2 gallon, or top 1/2 inch, was just sludge. I only ended up getting about 4.5 gallons into the keg to try to avoid getting most of the sludge in the keg. I guess next time I would add another 1/2 gallon of volume overall to yield closer to 5 gallons in the end.

Brewing this for local beer club Dec competition.

Notes: Overall this Vienna Lager (Amber Bitter European Beer) recipe is based on the traditional tried and tested versions that are out there on the internet or in books. I do have a little bit of brown malt in there to add some nuttiness in the background (some use Chocolate malt in much the same way).

Yeasts: Lallemand Diamond Lager, Saflager S-23, Saflager 34/70, M48 Bohemian, M76 Bavarian

Hops: Saaz, Magnun, Hallertauer M, Perle, NorthernB, Cascade

First brew the LBS didn't have the exact malts. Sub'd Caramunich 2 for CaraAmber.

Notes: Our first Frog Marsh Brewing original recipe! Bought some amber LME and Wyeast 1272 and then went thru the fridge for leftovers. Checked our unused hops/grain inventory for remainder of ingredients. Looked thru our previous 23 batches and picked from things we liked. Used my homemade stir plate for the first time! Am also trying a Hop Stand after boil...love a strong hop nose! IBU contribution seems to be totally captured in Utilization Factor...chose a modest 7%. All a SWAG, but we'll see what happens! :) Here goes on Father's Day 2016!

Notes: Beer came out awesome! There are a few changes I'd make though.

First, the melanoidin character is just a tad strong for my personal preference. It seems to be a bit too dried-fruity and verging on chemically, something that CaraMunich and Dark Munich malts contribute in large amounts (-The chemical flavor faded, it was from CaraMunich and was similar to a dry-erase marker aroma-). I'd rather have a fuller, bready and toasty, almost nutty character.

Another thing is that the hoppy bitterness is just slightly too high. This hoppiness, paired with the clean, dry finish lends a bit of a light crispness to the overall beer. This isn't really out of style, but for my personal preference, it's a bit much.

Honestly though, these are super-nitpicks. This beer is fantastic! I really like the interplay between the floral, spicy, herbal hops and the rich caramel and fruitiness of the malts. This is an excellent beer, and something that I can drink anytime. The carbonation is also spot on.

In competition, the highish melanoidin and hoppiness will probably give this beer an edge against other heavier, more cloying examples; especially with the dry, palate cleansing finish.
