Notes: My OG was 1.094 and FG was actually 1.014, both at 70 deg F for ABV of 9.7%
I used 1.5 cans (3.3 lb / can ) of Briess CBW Munich LME, also used 1 can (1 Can for brewing 6 gal) of Vienna Lager HME (Oktoberfest) with Yeast provided with the Vienna Lager, about 1 Tblsp of Amarillo Hops pellets (broken up) which was added at the end of the boiling time to let steep with wort and added to fermenter for more balanced flavor.
Pitched yeast with wort / water mixture @ 90 deg F (approx) which makes the initial fermentation process very hot, so prepare to keep it cooled down. Fermentation finished at 14 days, bottled at 18 days with plain white sugar @ 1/2 recommended quantity. Nice carbonation, body, and balance. Hops are noticeable but not overpowering with smoky notes and an extremely nice finish--non acidic, not too bitter, not too sweet, not too dry, AND a nice KICK.. |
