Notes: Won 1st place in club-only homebrew club Lager competition out of 8 entries.
1 vial of yeast used to make 1L starter, split between (2) 5-gallon carboys.
2 hour mash was necessary on my system to extract all possible sugars out of corn and rice. Gravity after 1 hour was ~1.040, and after 2 hours was ~1.060.
Hold fermentation at 52F for first 4-5 days.
Before krausen settles, begin raising temp to 60-65F for Diacetyl rest.
After 3 weeks, rack to secondary.
Chill secondary to 38F over the period of several days, hold at this temp for 4+ weeks. |

ABV: 4.5%
72% Efficiency!
Bottled: 16/09/2018
This started the lager project off on a high, literally, as I followed the water calculations to the dot and ended up with a record efficiency (one I haven't even came close to yet). Due to poor planning, the wort had to be left to cool overnight, and the yeast pitched in the morning. The addition of Vienna means the lager is a nice golden colour, a touch darker than planned as I was wanting something fairly light here, but I can see this shaping up to be a very presentable beer once cold crashed.
TASTING: Fantastic beer, colour is great, flavour, clarity etc, all bang on. However it seems that too much yeast dropped out during the cold crash, therefore the bottles have only just carbonated which really lets down the beer. In future, don't cold crash until they're carbed. |
