Notes: 2024-03-16 Last batch was nice. Got some feedback from stormcrow. We missed the carbonation on it massively when canning so that will be better next time. Also, it was "a lot roastier" than when they make it so changing some of the process. Adding the milled dark malts super late in the mash and putting in less. I needed to change the 0.5 lbs of Carafa I to Carafa II so that goes down to 0.25 and I'm using 1 oz less black prinz (4 to 3).
Been a year, making this again after having lived on czech dark lager. Editing the original recipe a little bit to include the fact that the dark malts are only added in the mash right before the bag is pulled. Getting the color out and only a small amount of roast. This was originally done, but wasn't reflected in the recipe. Also adjusted the acid slightly up to keep the mash pH below 5.4 as the dark malts would not participate in the enzymatic rest and not contribute the pH there.
Original malts were Sugarfoot Sue (Vienna) and Whisper Sister (Pilsner) from Gateway Malting, https://gatewaymalt.com/
Thanks to StormCrow Brewing for the recipe.
Gonna give OYL-044 a try. Supposed to be like WLP-029... we'll see.
Didn't have black malt, got black prinz, same Lovibond
didn't see Dark Chocolate, got briess chocolate.

Notes: Yuengling test recipe. Taken from two other Yuengling Lager clones and combined.
Edit - 3/17/20 - Brewed 2/22/20 as a scaled down batch ( supposed to be 1.1gal, excessive boil off resulted in 3 quarts into fermentor. Pre boil gravity 8 points low, but the high boil off resulted in hitting OG right on.) Initial tasting (before bottling) showed some kind of fruity esters? I dunno. We'll see what some bottle conditioning time does.
S-23 is SUPPOSED to give off fruity esters I found out, LOL. Perhaps I should have gone with S-189 yeast. Or better yet, the W-34/70 which is supposed to be virtually neutral. Bottled on 3/12/20. I also might try flip flopping the hops and use Cluster for the 60 minute addition.
Edit - July 6, 2020 - After I bottled this recipe, I brewed it again on 3/20/20 and flip flopped the hops. Kept everything else the same except I used some "mystery malt" that was given to me instead of the pilsner base malt. The guy said it was "just "2-row" " but didn't have the heart to tell him many grains are 2 row and that it could be anything LOL. In any case, the second batch I had a lot more volume in the mash and sparge (rinse) and ended up with about a gallon into bottles. 3 weeks carb and then into the fridge where they still are. I am planning to have two friends over to do a side by side with Yuengling Lager to see what's what.
Edit - Sept. 19, 2020, Taste tested these two side by side with Yuengling lager also and other tasters said the "mystery malt" one was preferred, I felt that that one was too "fruity" or something. I just don't care for that mystery malt I think. While tasting we mixed the two in the glass and it didn't taste too bad. So I brewed a third 1.1 gal test batch with half pilsner and half mystery malt in early August. It is still in the fermentation chamber. The first version (this recipe) was more malty IMO and tasted better. 9/19/2020 I have a starter of Fermentis W-34/70 German lager yeast going for tomorrow's brew of a proper 5.5 gallon batch of this. Hopefully this will become one of my staples.
Edit - 1/2/21 - Finally tapped the keg several weeks ago. Have been nursing this as it is so good. I don't want it to go empty. Purchased supplies to make another batch, the only change made was the main malt from Weyermann to Dingemans. I'll note any changes in flavor. Also, this tastes similar to Yuengling, but it is definitely its own lager. I'll leave the name on here "Yuengling Style Lager", but at home I'm calling it "My Pennsylvania Lager" since I changed the recipe enough and it's no longer really a clone, even though it's quite similar. |

Notes: Simple grain bill to showcase the citrusy hop taste.
Depending on the final taste of this recipe, I will likely refocus the late additions of hops to a hop stand/whirlpool rather than during the boil to see how that changes the taste.
Brew notes:
-very light in colour
-light body
-dry finish (FG 1.008)
-aroma is AMAZING |
