| Yeast: | WYeast Munich, pitched at 65 oF into well-oxygenated wort. | |||||||
| Log: | Once fermentation activated at 65 oF (24 hrs), moved to fermentation at about 45oF for first ten days (steady bubbles for 7 days). Then into secondary at 45oF for 2 additional weeks. Bottled and stored bottles at 45-50 degrees. Prime to drink after 6 weeks in bottles. | |||||||
| Carbonation: | 3/4 cup (less 1 Tb) corn sugar | |||||||
| Tasting: | Came out great! Decent head. Boiling hops without a bag makes a huge difference. Maybe a bit too malty in some bottles, I would reduce mash slightly next time. | |||||||
