Notes: We recommend a method similar to a Narziss fermentation, where the first two thirds of the fermentation is done cold and the final third is done warmer. This differs from the most commonly recommended procedure for lagers, where the yeast is pitched to a relatively warm wort (60 to 68°F, 15 to 20°C), cooled over the first two days of fermentation to the primary fermentation temperature, and then warmed back up to the initial temperature for a diacetyl rest before lagering. The idea behind the Narziss fermentation is to reduce the production of esters and other less desirable compounds during the most active phases of fermentation, and to increase the yeast activity near the end of fermentation, converting most of the undesirable compounds into less offensive substances. For example, diacetyl is a buttery tasting compound that is a common flaw in warm fermented lagers. The diacetyl precursor alpha acetolactate is excreted by the yeast during the early phase of fermentation. Keeping the temperature low during that time keeps the amount of alpha-acetolactate low. Yeast will reduce diacetyl at the end of fermentation, when they are working on building their energy stores. Warming the yeast near the end of fermentation makes them more active and improves the reduction of diacetyl. The overall effect is a cleaner beer.

Assuming you have clean, healthy yeast, controlling the temperature of fermentation is the most important step. The preferred procedure for these recipes is a little different, in that we recommend chilling the wort down to 44° F (7° C) and racking the beer away from the bulk of the cold break material before oxygenating and pitching the yeast. The fermentation chamber should be set up to warm slowly over the first 36 to 48 hours to 50° F (10° C) and held at that temperature for the rest of fermentation. This results in a clean lager, with very little diacetyl. If your wort was warmer during the initial yeast growth, or your fermentation was warmer, you’ll need to do a diacetyl rest during the last couple of days of fermentation, when the airlock activity noticeably slows. Generally this will be about the fifth or sixth day after pitching. To perform a diacetyl rest, warm your beer up about 10° F (6° C) above the fermentation temperature and hold it there until fermentation is complete. This keeps the yeast active and gives them a chance to eliminate the diacetyl. Then rack the beer to a 5 gallon carboy or Cornelius keg for lagering.

In any case, don’t rush things. Good lagers take time, and they ferment more slowly than ales, especially when fermented cold. Once the beer has finished fermenting, a period of lagering for a month or more at near freezing temperatures can improve the beer. Generally, the higher the alcohol content of the beer, the longer the lagering period should be. A 5 percent alcohol by volume Munich helles might be best after 4 to 6 weeks. An 8 percent doppelbock may need 6 months or more for some of the harsher aspects of the beer to mellow and for the melding of complex flavors to occur.

Beer was delicious but closer to a CAP.

Notes: This one has been good all summer, VERY carbonated now (Sept), and it's absolutely delicious. Another favourite among my friends, not overly hoppy (which is fine for both the style and the season).

This one carbonated well and was tasty after 2 weeks!

Notes: Idea is to get the Coffee flavor from brown malt. Have got good amount of coffee from it in past. Added bit of chocolate malt to just get a hint. I think chocolate does work well with coffee.. Hmm, we'll see.

OG: 1.063

09/04/2017

FG: 1.017
Bottled - 10.5 Liters

Initial impression - Chocolate aroma, coffee flavor upfront with hints of chocolate in background. Medium body. Expect this to come out tasty.

Doesn't taste as smooth as hoped for. Treat water with more CaCO3 next time (Maybe it will be smoother post carbonation)

Reduce BU:GU ratio to .551 (Target 34 IBU)

Notes: Mashing Instructions:
Saccharification Rest @ 155 60.0 min

In reality I mashed in, drank too much and mashed out four hours later... I meant to do a second runnings beer but ended up collecting all the runnings in one pot and had to boil down for four hours to get my five gallons! Not recommended - it turns into a 22 hour brew day.

Hops:
1.5 oz Centennial (8.7%) - added during boil, boiled 90 min
1 oz Amarillo (8.6%) - added during boil, boiled 30 min
1 oz Cascade (5.5%) - added during boil, boiled 10 min

Extra Ingredients:
Love!

Yeast:
1 pack of Fermentis S-04 Safale S-04
1 pack of Fermentis US-05 Safale US-05

Direct pitch, no starter, no re-hydration - fermented out in 4-5 days!!!

Special Instructions / Notes:
Try a Belgian Yeast or English Hops!

I ran out of Two-row malt and substitute in Pilsner malt; try domestic Two Row or Marris Otter!?!
