Excellent Recipe - suggest Lager Yeast

by jfmorris

I started from the original Biermuncher recipe, and just cut everything in half for a 5 gallon batch - 4.25# pllsner, 2.5# Munich, 2# Vienna, 1# aromatic, 1# crystal 20, 0.5# carapils, 0.5# crystal 40, and hop additions of 0.75oz, 0.5oz, 0.5oz. I used S-23 and fermented at 54F for 10 days, ramped to 64F for 3 days for a diacetyl rest, transferred to a keg as secondary, and then ramped down 4F per day until I reached 32F. I layered at that temp for 3 weeks, and just served at a Halloween party where the BMC crowd wipe out about 4 gallons of this beer.

Excellent recipe, without the effort of doing a decoction mash, and I think an excellent gateway beer for your BMC friends. I liked the results with S-23 so much I doubt I will trying with S-04 ale yeast.

Great fast octoberfest

Made this in the summer when I couldn’t lager due to temps. Tasted great after a few weeks, even better after it aged a bit. Made a beer cheese dip with it as well as cooking a few other things (in addition to drinking). Definitely will be a staple each fall.
