For anyone keeping track of my Friday night beer brewing festivities: here’s my lager from around two weeks ago.
I fermented under pressure (12 psi) in a keg with a floating dip tube so it was drink ready a week ago. Some quick stats: single malt (pale malt) and a single hop variety (fuggles). I used 34 70 yeast which is a beast. No clearing agents like gelatin - if it lasts it’ll clear some on its own. Rough math: 20 dollars or so in fermentables and hops for 4+ gallons of beer.
The wife loves it. I’m pretty happy with it. The spawn still thinks beer tastes weird.
And yes, we’re carving a pumpkin today.

🤣 if socialism was a beer!! 🤣
Huh, I never brewed a lager before, but how does it turn out if you drink it that early after the primary fermentation rather than actually lagering it? The logistics of the lagering had caused me to not really try making a lager.
I have been putting off doing a heavily spiced stout recently which is mostly based off of Papazian’s Goat Scrotum Ale. I need to get around it soon, hoping to have cooler weather which I think is better for drinking stouts.
Pressurized fermentation allows lagering in days. It can be done in a standard keg. I have an all-rounder on order which seems to be the way to go for full sized (5-6 gal) batches.
may i have one?
Sure. But I only pour the first one. After that, you pour your own.
yim yum
Respect. If I ever had time for another hobby this sounds awesome
