| Notes: The fermentation took right off when I pitched the yeast at 53 degrees F. The gravity had dropped to 1.028 in about 10 days. But then nothing. Tried raising the temperature to 60 to see if fermentation would restart to very minimal results. Took gravity reading after 3+ weeks in primary and it was at 1.024. Oh well. it will still be drinkable but not to style and it will probably get some gameday brats boiled in it. Sometimes you win, and sometimes you learn from mistakes |

| Notes: Pitch 425 billion healthy yeast cells into 46°F (8°C) wort, allow temperature to free rise to 50°F (10°C), and ferment for 10 days. Raise temperature to 60°F (16°C) for a diacetyl rest and hold until final gravity is achieved. Rack to secondary and lager at 35°F (2°C) for at least 6 weeks before kegging or bottling. |

Notes: Drop a 1L 1.040 starter on yeast cake from small beer 24hrs before fermentation
Mill the grains and follow these steps for a decoction mash: Mash pH 5.3
Mash in at 144°F (62°C) and hold 20 minutes; raise the temperature to 149°F (65°C) and hold 20 minutes; raise the temperature to 162°F (72°C) and hold 20 minutes; remove one-third of the mash and boil it for 15 minutes (or remove two-thirds and boil the remaining one-third, depending on what works best for your system); return the boiled portion to the main mash, which should bring the temperature to about 171°F (77°C).
Vorlauf until runnings are clear, then run off into kettle. Sparge the grains and top up as necessary to obtain 6.8 gallons (25.7 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, following the hops schedule. After the boil, chill the wort to 46°F (8°C), aerate, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 50°F (10°C). When the gravity has dropped to about 1.018 (4.5°P), increase the temperature to 54°F (12°C). When beer has fermented completely, decrease the temperature by about 4°F (2°C) per day until you reach 39°F (4°C). Hold there for 4 days, then decrease the temperature to 32°F (0°C) and lager for at least 3 weeks—preferably longer.
BREWER’S NOTES
Use German malt varieties, or this beer will not taste right. Our supplier is IREKS, based in Kulmbach, Bavaria. Our house yeast is from Klosterbrauerei Andechs in Bavaria (and WLP835 may be from the same source). We pitch 22–24 million cells per milliliter. |

Notes: Brewed on 02 Sep 2018
OG: 1.057
FG: 1.016
Attenuation: 71%
ABV: 5.4%
Mill Caramunich separately -- Don't add until beginning of sparge
Yeast Starter - two stage
Stage 1 = 1.25L using 4.43 ounces DME
Stage 2 = 1.6L using 5.68 ounces DME
Brew Notes:
pH came in low (5.18), so added .8g of pickling lime
Fermentation slowed down after day 1, so raised temp to 51 degrees and then to 52 degrees 12 hours later
Fermentation resumed nicely at 52 degrees
after 3 days, forced ferment finished at 1.015
Fast Lager Method Source: http://brulosophy.com/methods/lager-method/
Fermentation:
- Chill wort to 48 degrees
- Oxygenate (lots of oxygen -- at least 90 seconds) Added around 65 seconds
- Ferment at 50 degrees until 50% attenuation (based on fast ferment FG) is reached (4-7 days) -- for this brew 50% attenuation is 1.034
- Remove temperature probe from thermowell and attach to small volume of liquid (to measure ambient air temp)
- Disconnect plug from cooling side of temperature controller
- Slowly raise air temp from 52 degrees to 67 degrees over 36 hours (5 degrees per 12 hours). See STC-1000+ settings below.
- Keep air temp at 68 degrees until fermentation is complete and the yeast clean up after themselves ( 4-10 days)
- Test for Diacetyl and acetaldehyde -- see https://www.winning-homebrew.com/diacetyl-test.html
- When FG is stable and no diacetyl or acetaldehyde is detected,
- ??? Reattach temperature probe from controller into thermowell ???
- Attach CO2 tank and add 1-2 pounds of pressure
- Set up a separate thermometer to monitor temperature of the beer
- Slowly decrease temperature from 68 degrees to 32 degrees over 72 hours (0.5 degrees per hour), then see next step. See STC-1000+ settings below.
- When beer temp is below 50 degrees, add prepared gelatin fining
- 1 tsp gelatin in 1/2 cup water,
- Microwave it in short (7 second) bursts until it reached 145-150°F, stirring with the end of a thermometer between each burst.
- Let beer clarify for a few days, then package

Packaging:
Keg:
- Transfer beer to keg
- Attach CO2 and set to PSI needed to carbonate to 2.5 volumes of CO2 @ 32 degrees
- Let beer condition at 32 degrees for a couple weeks
- Tap the keg
Bottles:
- Sanitize bottles
- Add a coopers carb drop to each bottle
- Add beer and cap each bottle
- Put bottles in area of stable ambient temperature of around 70 degrees for a couple weeks (to carbonate the beer)
- Let beer condition at refrigerator temps (32-36 degrees) for another 1-2 weeks
