Brewed June 29, 2025 - Recipe based off Krennmair "Vienna Lager" Book §6.3 - altered to step Infusion
Bring mash to 70°C (158°F) for 20 min. Raise to 72-75°C (162-167°F) rest for 40 min. Collected 7.5 gal @ 10 Brix (1.040). Boil for 90 min with hop charge, volume dropped to 4 gal collected at 14.5 Brix (1.059). Added 1 gal spring water to drop to 1.047. Chill overnight to 10-12°C (50-54) and ferment with Wyeast Munich 2308. Started off slow as yeast quantity was compromised
August 13 - Kegged and placed in lagering reefer, after 20-ish day diacetyl rest. FG was 1.018. Fermented wort tasted fine despite not having time to properly rest, lager, etc.
