Ahhh....another brew day, since oddly enough I didn't go to work at the brewery today.
Huzzah Homebrewing.
So today I brewed an alt bier. Made a two gallon batch, here's the grain bill:
3 lbs Pilsner
1.4 lbs Munich
0.7 lbs Caramunich III
1.4 oz Carafa I
So we mashed at 100 F for 15 minutes, then 122 F for 20 minutes, and lastly 150 F for 60 minutes.
Launching into the boil at 80 minutes I added 1 oz of Tettnanger (4.5 AA) then 0.25 oz Saaz at 20 minutes and another 0.5 oz of Saaz at 5 minutes.
We chilled it down to 76 F and shook it up and pitched. I know, everyone is thinking that I should use WLP036, but since the LHBS was out of it I ended up with WLP060. Hopefully it won't make to big of an impact.
Tis happily fermenting and in about 6 days I'll be moving it to the fridge to let it "lager" for about 3 weeks prior to bottling.
The OG on this one is 1.048
So as it turns out I don't have a good set up to truely make a lager, so this will be my "Oktoberfest Beer".
