Maggie Helles - Wednesday, Dec. 26, 2018

My last brew for the year!!! This year sucked for brewing beer, but has picked up in the last month or so. Just brew lagers and you will be fine.This is the easiest recipe I have ever brewed and hopefully the best tasting. I am putting in a total effort in brewing this now and all of 2019 and beyond. If my Dec. 10 Helles tastes good when I didn't wash the yeast, I just swirled it around after kegging my SS, dumped it in my new Helles wort. The only thing I didn't like was pitching yeast at 62 F. Hope that didn't matter, will find out around New Years Eve. Robobrew Ingredients 13 lbs. UCM Magnum - 14 g - 11.8% AA at 60 min Hallertauer - 30 g - 3.4% AA at 30 min.

This beer replaces my Brown Porter which I can't brew because Fed-Ex has my supplies. Shipped Dec 4 and still don't have it. I am tossing my Helles wort on top of my SS beer. Either that, or do not brew. No starter, so here goes nothing. May as well as I have a spare carboy with no wine in it, so go for it. Anyway, I will see how this Helles goes as I am using a German Water profile I found off the internet. Ingredients 13 lbs. UCM 19 g GR NB - 9.9% AA at 60 min. 30 g Hallertauer - 4% AA at 30 min. 30 g Hallertauer - 4% AA at 10 min. 30 g Hallertauer - 4% AA at   0 min. WLP833 Slurry from my Storey Steamer No washing of the yeast, just swirled around to get everything in suspension, and dumped into a new carboy, aerated and that is it. Yes, the wort is not 52 F, but I can't get it down that low. Most likey 62 F, but fridge will be set to 52 F. A D-rest is more important now than ever. Water Profile - German Brewing water page.
