So, it has been a while. I have been extremely busy for the last year or so and brewing had gone onto the back burner. My current gf has shown interest in brewing and i am glad she did so! today i have gotten all of my things out and given them a thorough cleaning. going to try and make a beer similar to one of her favorites, the most hated-STELLA
i found the recipe on fermentation riot.
9lbs pilsner malt
.5lbs carapils.
90 min mash @ 149f, will be using my cooler mash tun. i cannot remember the type of efficiency that i saw while using it in the past. the recipe is written up at 70% efficiency.. wouldnt 80% be more realistic?
i was going to add a cup of minute rice just to bump the AC a little, but wasnt sure if i did.. in addition to the efficiency being higher than the recipe specifies that i may end up with a much higher alcohol content than i set out for.
1.5oz saaz @60min
.5oz saaz and whilrfloc @15
1oz @ flameout
2042 danish lager that i will pitch around 60f and then throw into the garage.
do you think i will have issues with the temp fluctuating between 40-60f?
sorry for all the newbie questions, i just want to make my re-entrance to brewing a beautiful thing..... and of course make the lady happy
