4 Dog Brewery

I seriously need to think on buying a replacement board. It is starting to wear I guess. It does not always want to fire up when I hit the power button. Not sure about the board though. I think Kegland will stop making the boards. I definitely will buy one next year and another one either later on in 2024 or early 2025. I have to use it in the winter instead of my big system. Too big and cleaning is a real pain.

 Almost the same recipe as the last one. Slight change in hops as an inventory adjustment. Brewday was Thursday, nope, changed it to Friday, nope, now changed it to Saturday. I got it in!! A lot of issues around here the last day or so, but I dam well got it in. I am going to filter this just after I keg it. Again, I won't get to age this that much but this is my last one and I really do not care what it tastes like, my last lager. I can still age it after filtering. O.G. - 1.046  - 77% F.G. - % - SRM - 3.4 BU - 23 Last batch was only 1.044. I used too much sparge water, so watch it carefully this time. I had 2 - 3 L left over in Mr. Robobrew. Heat up the mash water to 71C.  Mash at 66 C.  I mashed too low. Should of been 75C instead of 71C. For some reason it screws around with the enzymes in the barley. I switched to Celsius when I made my first lager. Dummy!! Pat Attention!!   Ingredients 11 lbs. Pils Malt 8 ozs. Vienna 8 ozs. CaraFoam 56 g Hallertauer at 60 ...

 I just hate sitting out there in the cold weather. Will fire it up next May after San Diego and the pool is opened.
