4 Dog Brewery

15 Gallons I have been looking at this style for 7 years now and never brewed it. I always thought that a big, rich lager like is just too hard to brew. Well, I'm gonna give it a go now. I just have enough time to brew this and go on our trip to Panama City. I had around 50% of the ingredients in my basement already, so this didn't cost me a lot, except for the yeast. I am using up all of my hops and most of my little bags of spare malt I have. I am going to ferment this @ 44F for day one and let it slowly rise to 50 F on day 2-3 and keep it there for the duration of the fermentation process. I won't have a lot of time to give it a lot of attention, so set it and forget it. Ingredients 8 lbs. Munich 1 6 lbs. Vienna 5 lbs. Pilsner 3.5 lbs. OiO 1 lb. Carafoam 1.23 lbs.

I have brewed this 3 times and 2 were okay and the third was an astrigent tea bag. I still don't know what happened. I thought about going with 70/30 RO/WELL water with this brew. The recipe doesn't require a real English or Burton water profile. I am not looking for that, just a nice tasting brew with beer gas. The one thing about brewing 15 gallons is possibly ending up with 15 gallons of bad beer. 19 lbs. Pearl Malt 1 lb. Muntons Crystal 60 56.7...

This is a double brew day all in carboys. This will help the pipeline. The recipe has changed a bit from the previous one but mostly will be the same. I am keeping the volume the same as the boil is 90 min. 15 Gallons 19 lbs. Pilsener 4.5 lbs. OiO 1.34 lbs. Munch type 1 1 lb. Carafoam 1 lb.

I think it was too much late additions of the whole hops. I have gone through this before with a single flameout addition and I didn't like it, but no, did I pay attention to that beer? Nope, and this is what I get. It has a kind of slick, hop taste which IMO is too much. Will never do it again.The US-0...
