Great recipe! I know I'm on the right track with my learning when I see a veterans recipe is almost identical to mine! 😂 My only issue is I cannot get the white labs yeast so I've decided to go with M54 Californian lager yeast. Hopefully I'll get to brew it tomorrow or Saturday! I'll grab the missing ingredients for your one and make that next! Great information as always thank you!
Thanks! You can use any lager yeast really. This is a first for me using this one and it turned out well, however, I'm sure it wouldn't be much different with a different variety, so long as it wasn't overly sulfur flavored. But even that dies out after a while. 🍻
@CityscapeBrewing That's awesome! I'm really looking forward to it! I have to stop myself from doing it right now but it's almost 1am so that's a bad idea🤣🤣
So normally how long does it take to fully ferment a lager in your fermentation chamber? My son and i recently built our own fermentation chamber but haven’t splurged for a tilt yet. Just curious how long your beers take to ferment completely? Were kinda new at this so hope this isn’t a silly question..
It doesn't take much longer even at the cooler temperatures. You'll find that it does about 1 and 1/2 to 2 weeks and it will be finished.. What takes a little longer is you need to do the diacetyl rest at the end which adds a few days! 🍻
