♦♦ Use 3 Vials of San Francisco Lager Yeast WLP810 @ 62° CHANGE! 2 vials of WLP840 American Ale Yeast will be used.

♦ Northern Brewer Hops - Origin and Description
Northern Brewer Hops is an England native who is seeing its days live out mainly in Germany and the U.S. There is a separate U.S. hops variety that was bred in the United States that has similar properties. This dual use hops had a higher alpha acid content for the time, however super alphas have doubled, even tripled the content since back in the day. With that said Northern Brewer hops grown in Germany, sometimes referred to as Hallertau Northern Brewer if grown in the region, has made its mark and is used throughout beer styles such as European Ales, Lagers, and Pilsners. It is also synonymous with steam beers as in Anchor Steam.

Northern Brewer hops is used for both bittering and aroma additions in the kettle. It has an alpha acid content of 7.0%-10.0% and is a well rounded variety. The bitterness is moderate and the aroma comes off as plump. As one of Germany's main high alpha hops, Northern Brewer is both versatile yet refined.

Notes: In prep for this brew buy american oak spirals (medium) and a bottle of cheap bourbon (wild turkey or Jim beam). Soak the spirals in the bourbon for 2 months minimum. After primary fermentation of 3-4 weeks, transfer to secondary and add 1 spiral. Leave in secondary to age for up to 4 months. Taste weekly, when happy with flavor bottle next day.
Expect low efficacy due to massive grain bill.
Note: priming volumes is high due to high alcohol thus less CO2 staying in solution.

Notes: Hops schedule: Combined the three American hops and slowly and continuously hopped the boil from 30 mins on, saved 1oz of mixture for dry hop at day 7.

Could have been hoppier for sure, more dry hops and more aroma hops

Notes: My OG was 1.094 and FG was actually 1.014, both at 70 deg F for ABV of 9.7%

I used 1.5 cans (3.3 lb / can ) of Briess CBW Munich LME, also used 1 can (1 Can for brewing 6 gal) of Vienna Lager HME (Oktoberfest) with Yeast provided with the Vienna Lager, about 1 Tblsp of Amarillo Hops pellets (broken up) which was added at the end of the boiling time to let steep with wort and added to fermenter for more balanced flavor.

Pitched yeast with wort / water mixture @ 90 deg F (approx) which makes the initial fermentation process very hot, so prepare to keep it cooled down. Fermentation finished at 14 days, bottled at 18 days with plain white sugar @ 1/2 recommended quantity. Nice carbonation, body, and balance. Hops are noticeable but not overpowering with smoky notes and an extremely nice finish--non acidic, not too bitter, not too sweet, not too dry, AND a nice KICK..
