I had some initial efficiency problems with the Igloo Cooler system. I brewed another batch and was dead on 1.055 and 75% efficiency. I know the wheat is out of characteristic, but It makes a fine addition too head retention. Both batches are in the Keezer at 55 degrees after 24 hours at 70 degs. Once a good ferment was ripping I crashed the batches to 55 degs. They will be in primary for at least 2 weeks the a room temp rest for 24 hours and back to 38 degrees for 6-8 weeks. I have to wait all summer for these. Since I'm tying up my keezer I will be making a Pils Urquell Clone to go with these...got room for 2 more fermenters in the Keezer.

After sample I would up the boil hop by 50% and reduce the crystal by 50%. Otherwise a very good lager for a first attempt. Very clean and no diacytal present. The re-pitch and finish ferment was done at 66 degrees and did not produce any off flavors.
