Brew Day - Sunday, May 1, 2011
Cujo Light Another try on lagers. I am building up lager yeast so I can brew one in my 14.5 gallon conical. Takes a boatload of yeast. This will be split with an ale. 14 Gallons 17 lbs. Canada Malt 2.5 lbs. Flaked Rice 1 lb. Carapils 70 grams Hallertauer - 60 min. WLP800 Pilsner Yeast WLP001 Cal Ale Yeast O.G. - 1.038 F.G. - Ale - 1.008 - Lager - 1.012 % - Ale - 4 - Lager - 3.4 BU - 18.7 SRM - 3 The ale took almost 24 hours to get going. However, nothing from the lager yet. I used a starter and tossed in two extra vials for good measure. The lager took 84 hours to get going. I kegged, cleared and drank the ale before this lager was done fermenting. It will be a long time before I waste my time on making lagers again.
