4th of July weekend = my last chance to get my beer for my annual Oktoberfest party done with adequate time to lay them down and lager, so this weekend I will be brewing:
- a Munich Helles
- a Kloster Dunkel (modeled after Kloster Kreuzberg's house bier)
- a Bamberg-style Rauchbier, half of which will get oaked.
- a Bavarian Pils
My Oktoberfest has already been brewed and is lagering, so that's taken care of.
Yes, my annual Oktoberfest party is quite an event.
I gots da brewin' jones again, but my post-fermentation pipeline is backed up, no cold storage space left. I'm thinking a 10 gallon batch of pilsener can lager for 3-4 weeks in the ferm fridge while a couple of keg slots open up.
I do have some wy2206 yeast in the fridge I'll have to start building up...a lot...and half a bag of Briess pilsener malt...and some Saaz, Tettnanger, Hallertau...
Looks like a plan...
Cheers!
i am just about to start my boil for a partial mash attempt at a belgian ipa and begin planning a red ale (possibly ipa) for husker football season! :d
Did 10g of Dogfish 60min. Trying to finish the glycol chiller, hope it turns out. Lots of hot 90+ F days, but the garage is still rockin about 71 deg... 69 in the ferm chamber.. Few more days and i should be able to cobble together the rest of the chiller at least in a temporary fashion.
Its just a 5k btu window shaker ac unit.... pretty standard. Hardest part is figuring out the best way to plumb it all and the pumps / controlls.. As per the norm, i try to over engineer everything and it takes time lol...
Just finished up my first lager.
Pre-Prohibition style, got the recipe from a good buddy.
