Notes

Gærkage fra bryg 46 (double bock med honning) genbruges. Original recipe found online: 3/5/2005 OG 14.2 Brix 1.055 This is for 6 Gal, All Grain, 80% efficiency assumed, 1.052, 30.2 IBU _ 7 lb Pils Malt - 2 lb German Munich Malt - .25 lb Aromatic Malt - .25 German Dark Crystal Malt - 1 lb Carafa III Dehusked - .5 oz No. Brewer whole hops @ 7.7 AA 90 min - .75 oz Hallertau Mittelfruh whole @ 4.4 AA 90 min - .5 oz Hal. Mittelfruh whole @ 4.4 AA 30 min - .25 oz Hal. Mittelfruh whole @ 4.4 AA 5 min Mash in and hold at 126ºF for 30 min, then raise to 140ºF for 10 min , then raise to 151ºF for 60 min, then to 168ºF for 10 min for mash out. I am fermenting with East European Lager yeast, Brewtek CL- 680. Fermentation will be at 50ºF for 7 days, then Diacetyl rest at 60ºF for 2 days, then rack to secondary and drop temp 5ºF per day til beer is at 32ºF and lager at 32ºF for 5-6 weeks. used WL 820 because I couldn't track down Brewtek CL- 680, Caramunich II for the dark german crystal, and dehusked carafa II instead of III. It came out a little overstrength -- i used a grain bill intended for a six gallon batch to make a five gallon batch. Whole hops from freshops: Northern Brewer and U.S. Hallertauer. A delicious creamy beer, and the judges at the Knickerbocker Battle of the Brews gave it first place in the Dark Beer category.
