Notes

All grain beer

Added all grains (loose) to about 7 gallons clean 120 F. water.

Stirred about every 10 min until temp reached 153 F.
Turned stove off, lid on, rest for 2 hour.

Heated seperate water at 170 F. and used as a rinse for grains as I filtered them out of the pot with a strainer.

After all loose grains were filtered out, brought to boil - added hops, with Northern Brewer only at start of boil - boiled 90 min.

Hallertau MIttelfruh hops in at end of boil.
Used Saflager 34/70 with 1 packet of yeast with a starter made, 24 hours previously.

Wort cooled to about 60 F., then yeast starter added and stirred in.
After yeast started, primary was moved to a converted freezer which was set at 50 F, and left to ferment for 3 weeks.

Finishing hops left in for 4 days, then removed.
