Notes: Third place in the Dark Lager category at the 2025 North Georgia Homebrew Competition.
Carafa II added during last 15 minutes of mash.
Mash out @170 for 15 minutes
Cool to 50 F and pitch yeast.
Raise to 58 F over the next two days.
Ferment until gravity stabilizes = 3 days of same reading.
Raise temp to 68 and do a Diacetyle rest for 2-3 days.
Lower temp to 32-36 at a rate of 4 degrees/12 hours and lager for a minimum of 2 weeks.
Another option is to immediately lower temp to 32-36 after DR. Some say a gradual cooling doesn’t stress the yeast, but I did not experience that.

Notes: - Brewed on 7/11/20
- Mash water = 4.51 gallons (17.1 liters)
- Sparge water = 3.42 gallons (12.9 liters)
- Expecting pre-boil volume of 6.6 gallons (25 liters) or 6.86 gallons (25.9 liters) after 4% wort expansion, actually had 25.9 liters or 6.86 gallons. Changed grain absorption down to .1225 from .125 as I have been a bit high on volumes lately. Also plan to not tip the grainfather when going into fermenter.
- Expecting mash efficiency of 84% (at expanded wort volume) which implies a pre boil gravity of 1.047
- Started mash with 15 minutes at 113F for a Ferulic acid rest
- Mash temp settled right it at ~153F
- Hit 11.0 plato pre boil gravity which converts to 1.044 vs. 1.047 target so 79% mash efficiency vs. 84% expected.
- Expecting to boil down to 6.0 gallons (after wort cools) so boil-off tool estimates 1.052 OG, Actual original gravity reading was 11.9 plato which converts to 1.048 vs 1.048 expected (given lower mash efficiency).
- After boil had ~6.25 gallons [23.7 liters] (expected 6.0 not expanded, 6.26 expanded) in the kettle and ~6.0 gallons (including .5 liter starter) made it into the fermenter.
- Element got scorched. Never had this issue before. I may try to let mash sit for 5-10 minutes prior to starting recirculation next time.
- Pitched yeast starter and set fermentation chamber at 62F, bumped to 63F on day 3, then 64F on day 4, then 65F on day 6, then 66F on day 8
- Packaged on 7/22/20, batch #45, FG was 1.009 (at 70F) which converts to 1.010 so 78% attenuation vs 75% avg. and 76% expected
- Fill keg to 51.90 pounds = (1.010FG x 8.345 x 5 gallons) + 9.72 (empty keg weight + packaging hoses attached). Easily got 51.90 pounds. |

Notes: Boil off was strong enough, but missed OG by 3-5 points. 1.043 pre-boil 8.25 gal...., finished 1.018
Supposed to be Hallertau as the main bittering hop but I fucked it.
Pitch temp is 28 C and ramping up to 33 C by 1C increments per day
Used red wheat, but could be any wheat really. Tastes good tho!
Future note 1: we could do some zesting
Number of zests: ?
Grapefruit:
Minneola Oranges:
Salustiana Oranges:
Lemons:
Limes:
Supposed to be 94 grams, but that's a lot... 6-7 fruits is enough
Future note 2: You could use some honey malt in replacement of melanoidin.
