WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

1 pkg Fermentis Saflager 34/70 lager yeast (Started for 6 hours before pitching)

This brought the total volume of liquid up to about 9.5 gallons.
Brought to boil again, then added 6 oz Fresh Saaz, with (2) cheesecloth bags of 3 oz each.

Boiled Saaz hops for 2 hours, then in 1 cheescloth bag with 2 oz Halltertau Mittelfruh and boiled for the last 15 minutes. (total 135 minutes)
Heat was turned off, and allowed wort to cool overnight.
Hop bags squeezed and removed the next day, and wort was allowed to cool until about 60 F was reached.

Then added 7 1/4 gal to 8.5 gallon primary, with 1 gallon remaining to fill a 1-gallon clear glass jug. Airlocks installed in both containers.

Primary vessel was cooled in tub of cold water, and when temp was around 65 F, yeast started was added which had been started about 6 hours earlier. (1 package Fermentis Saflager 34/70)

Average temp surrounding primary is about 49 F.

Total fermentation time: 37 days.

Bottling - used light DME for priming - 2.4 Atmospheres @68 F.
Allow 15 days for carbonation.

15 days after bottline, bottles were moved to lagering fridge @ 33 F.
