Notes

Schwarzbier with rye and crystal hops.

Start with 4.3 gal total. Lose about 0.4 gal to grain absorption (BIAB), so about 3.9 preboil. Lose about 0.6 gal/hr, so 3.3 after 1 hr boil. Lose about 0.05 gal to hops absorption, so 3.25 gal into fermentor. Lose about 0.25 gal to trub, so about 3.0 gal into keg.

I had an ounce of Carafa Special III to use up, which is why I used both II and III; just pick one or the other, otherwise.

Pick your favorative lager yeast (I like the simplicity of dry yeast). Do diacetyl rest after a week or so of primary fermentation, then keg and lager in keg for 4 weeks or so.
