Notes

The aim is to make a crisp Oz Lager using Australian Hops.
I grew the hops in 2019 and I like the subtle flavor the Vic Secret gives the lager.
I put the Vic Secret in a stainless steel hop bag and leave it in the Keg for the entire time it takes to drink the beer.
I mash for long periods to convert all the starch to sugar to achieve a crisp lager flavor.
After racking the beer of the lees I will age the beer for at least 3 to four weeks. This is the most difficult part of the brewing process, especially if the beer tasted great.
I adjust my water with calcium chloride by adding 2.5G to the initial 19L mash liquid. I aim for 5.4 pH which I get with the addition of HCl.
