09/03/2025: Don't change the mash process... this one cleared up very well, even with the addition of the peppers.
09/03/2025: Less lime, more jalepeno (w/ seeds just slice into rings. Increase carapils to 3 or 4 ounces.
08/04/2025: Trying to get this beer closer to what a Vienna should be... removed half the 60L carapils. Upped the aciduated malt.
08/02/2025: Knocked rice back to 4 oz, added munich dark malt, removed the caramunich. Reduced the Vienna to 2.25... looking to play with the mash temperatures to impact attenuation.
08/02/2025: Removed a few mash steps - staying with 138*F and 152*f. I may add in a mid 140's step and push the 150's toward the middle.
07/06/2025: Pushed the rice to 8 oz and substitured the caramunch 1 for the caramel Munich 60.
To consider
- Review mash schedule
-
---------------------------------------------------------
2/14/2024: 1 jalapeno chopped with seeds. On or before brew day, make a chile tincture by soaking the chopped jalapeño with its seeds in a small amount of vodka. This will extract flavor and heat while the beer ferments.
2/4/2024 - Moving to a step mash for this beer, 122, 147, 168 (may push that higher?). Need to keep the pH as close to 5.3 as possible... between 5.2 and 5.4 is the target. I will follow the same fermentation schedule as the Oktoberfest 2024.
10/29/2023: This is based on the Vienna Lager I did back in 2021. Chosen for the Dead Brewing Project bacause of my current interest in Mexican lagers (basically German Vienna or Munich beers). Mexican influences run through a number of songs in the Grateful Dead repertoire and while Mexicali Blues is but one song, it kinda defines what I want to do with this beer. I'd like a moderate to higher moderate impact by the jalepenos... a bit of bite, but the overall flavor, too.. Just want to dial the base grains in before we go beyond .

Fermentation
3/20/2024: This sucker is done! Kegging 3/21 then letting it sit for a bit to lager. Maybe another 2 weeks? Then packaging.
3/19/2024: Added 2 more jalepenos chopped with pith (no seeds) into the fermenter.
3/16/2024: Added 2 jalapenos chopped with pith for heat to the beer. Gravity is 1.008 and I do not expect it to drop further. Starting drop to 40*F... set temp from 52*F to 49*F. Will drop 4 degrees each day until 40. |
