Notes
Brewed 3/7/12 OG 1.078-FG 1.023 ABV 7.205
Primary till 3/29/12 @ 54 degrees
36 hr. diacetyl rest
Secondary till 4/15/12 @ 34 degrees
Raised temp to 70 and kegged with corn sugar and some of the bottom yeast 4/16/12
Primed pressure good on 4/30/12 tapped and gave it a 1 pint bottom blow. Put pressure at 27 psi and started lagering at 34 degrees
5/20/12 Drew a pint to check progress. It taste great right now. Will not touch again till the fall
Will not know how this fully turned out until 9/29/12. I am lagering it <40 degrees till then like a true Oktoberfest.
10/5/12 Mmmmmmmm mmm mm. Necter of the Gods. A truly fantastic Oktoberfest. Can't wait till March. Gonna do it again.
