Hodgepodge of ingredients to make a dark lager sorta in the vein of a schwarzbier. Using remaining Munich and Vienna which should get around 40% of the grist to get a little more malty notes to balance out the carafa special II (or at least that's what I think the dark malt I have is). Using 2-row for the rest of the base malt to save the Sekado Pils for true Czech Pils.
Will mash the dark grains the last 15-20 minutes of the mash/mashout. Definitely want a little bit of the flavor and not just the color. Trying a full volume mash to see how efficiency is and to speed up/simplify 5-6 gallon batches.
Saaz through boil and upping the sulfate to enhance crispness/dryness and make sure their is enough bitterness. Using home water again to see how it does with a lager.
Fast ferment method using a healthy pitch/starter from Adam at Methods (34/70). 52 for 4-5 days then up 3 deg/day until low to mid 60s do D-rest. Once it passes force test ramp down 5-8 deg/day/12 hours. Use biofine and lager. May use another bump of biofine in keg. Trying to turn around in 4 weeks for Groundhog brewfest.
