Taste Notes
These notes are late - going from memory.
Wow. This is fantastic. A perfect crisp, drinkable body. Wonderful sweet German malt flavor balance by solid bitterness. The Spalt hops were definitely present (though I don't remember any specific flavors). I don't think I would change ANYthing on this.Notes
7/29/2013: Doughed in 10 minute rest at ~135F (4 gals. RO Water). Infused with ~7 qts. boiling water to hit 60 minute rest at ~152-153F (couldn't quite raise it enough). Decocted 8 qts. of wort--boiled for ~15 minutes. Added back to mash to reach mash-out temps. Sparged with 175F water. Didn't quite sparge long enough. Boiled as prescribed for 75 minutes. Had to top up with ~.5 gal of water to hit gravity after boil. Gravity into fermentor was 1.053 (~5.75 gal.). Cooled over 36 hours. Added ~1.75L very healthy starter (2 steps). Fermented at ~52F for 13 days. Let raise to room temp over the next 12 days. Crash cooled. Racked to keg 2013-08-28, FG 1.013. Lagered for 30 days.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
