Brew Day - December 20, 2009
3 Dog Lager
This is a change from my regular brew recipes. I have been thinking of brewing all lagers for awhile now. If this turns out okay, I may switch to lagers in the spring. I still have lots of ale yeast and Chinook hops in the freezer, so it will be awhile. I won't abandon CPA's because it is my favourite style.
15 Gallons
23 lbs. Canada Malting 2-row
2.35 lbs. Vienna Malt
73 grams Hallertauer hops ( 4.5 AA ) 60 minutes
43.4 grams Hallertauer hops ( 4.5 AA ) 30 minutes
50 grams Mauribrew Lager Yeast
O.G. - 1.050
F.G. - 1.012
% - 5
SRM - 3.8
bu - 24.8
It took 24 hours to see any activity. Using a conical, I can only go by the blow-off hose. I did have trouble with the lid seal, so it may of been fermenting earlier. Still, as a lager the activity is subdued compared to my usual ale fermentations.
