Nagyon alacsony OG, 7? (WTF?)
Kb. 29 L.

Hozzáadtam még cukrot hogy feltoljam az OG. (200 g szőlőcukor, 500 g sima cukor)

Vajon milyen lesz ez így?

Háááát, elég halovány.
Sok íze nem lett, sokkal több test (vagy rendes roppantás) kell bele, meg még komló. Keserű is.

IPA-val összeöntve nem rossz.

Notes: Nagyon fini lett, talán keserűségből vissza lehet venni kicsit, de egyébként jó. :)
Jó lett alkoholra/testre is, talán egy normálisabb roppantás elfér még rá.

Kicsit kevesebb szénsav is jó lenne. 7 - 7,5 g/liter?

1st in category and overall Best of Show: 2018 Hammerdown Brew Cup (Cincinnati). Have opportunity to brew a 20 bbl batch at Braxton Brewing later in early 2019.

This beer was originally brewed to the "lighter side" of the doppelbock range, but it turned out to be a great, albeit ballsy, dunkelsbock. For future brews, I will probably shave a pound or so off the Vienna/Munich combo if brewed as dunklesbock.

Notes: Started w/ a thick mash for protein rest (proteolytic enzymes more active) then added 1 gallon during ramp to 148.

Carafa III added immediately before sparge to adjust color.

1.5L starter using a heaping cup of DME for 1.040 starter gravity.

2nd out of 27 entries in its category in the 2017 Indiana Brewers Cup. It beat out my American Lager in the same category by one place. The American Lager had won Silver at NHC Finals a few weeks earlier.

This was a KILLER Helles

Accolades:
*2nd out of 30 American Lagers in the 2016 Indiana Brewers Cup (Score 42)
*1st in the 2017 NHC First Round (Score 42 from 1 Master)
*Silver in the 2017 NHC Final Round (Score 44 from 2 Masters)

The key to making this great is getting the FG to 1.008. The NHC Final batch finished at 1.008 and was noticeably better with more "pop" than my 1st Round batch (FG 1.010). A 60 minute+ rest at 146 or so is key, in my opinion.

Hybrid of Coors Banquet & Budweiser. Both beers use approx 70:30 barley:adjunct

Coors: 70% 2-Row and 30% Corn
Bud: 70% 6-Row and 30% Rice

This beer uses approx 90:10 6-Row:Corn. Decreasing the adjunct keeps the beer w/i style guidelines but it still actually tastes like beer. Most of my macro-hating beer snob friends like this beer, FWIW.

The batch brewed for NHC 1st Round in early Jan-17 was a 6 gallon batch and used WLP 840. This batch split between WLP840 and WLP850. Submitted bottles of WLP 840 to NHC Finals. 850 made a Heineken-like lager... a perfectly decent beer but the 840-half was more to-style. WY2007 also works well for this beer, and WY2035 is great but only has seasonal availability.

Notes: OG kb 14,3

26,5 kg vödör nélkül.

15 gramm élesztő.

Jóóóóó lassan csorgott le hűtés közben. (sok komló?)

Nagyon lassan szűrődött, először 1 mikronos, aztán 5 mikronos papír.
(kb. 1,5 óra)

Jó magas FG kb. 6+

Kevesebb cukrot használtam, 23-24 liter = 170 g cukor

Palackozva: 2016.12.23 - 23 liter

Mehetett volna bele 8 g/l cukor!
Hiba - Roppantott fekete maláta ment bele, nagyon barna jelleget kapott, szinte nem is Rubin. (Előzőleg mint kiderült ugyanennyi nem roppantott maláta ment bele, amit ott aprítógépeztünk meg kicsit)

Komlók jobbak, de így kevésbé is érezni a barnaság miatt.

3rd in 2017 Indiana Brewers Cup (July 2017). Plan to enter again in 2018 Indiana Brewers Cup. It also won another award in 2017 but I honestly cannot recall the competition. It's basically the "SCOTTIE MACROCKETTS" recipe from Great Fermentations store (Courtesy of Nathan Compton) except I used Golden Promise instead of Maris Otter.

Edit 5/29/18. Bottles have been cellared 13 months and they keep getting better. I try one bottle every 3-4 months.

Notes: Mini-Rant: This is not an Anchor Steam clone. If a dead-on Anchor clone is submitted, judges will say the beer is under-hopped and not bready/toasty enough. I prefer Anchor's version (92:8 2-Row to Medium Crystal). This batch is a test of my theory that judges "expect" a Munich-driven malty lager, not a close approximation of Anchor Steam.

Thus ends the rant...
