Interesting recipe, it seem like the pils and carapils amounts are flipped from what I'd expect to see though I've never made a lager myself. Is there a reason for that?

[mr x]

I don't think you could make a beer out of only carapils, or even a high percentage. IIRC it is highly unfermentable.

I think you have them swithc in your recipe you're showning

[mr x]

You're right, d'oh. Fixed. Glad somebody reads this stuff. Obviously, I didn't weigh those grains out like that.

A bit high on the OG (hydrometer was 1.060)

[mr x]

Super chillin' for some Narziss action.

Kegged and bottled this one up yesterday. Finished at 80% AA, a bit higher than the 70% I was looking for. Tastes pretty good though.

Are those zipties on your carboy caps?

[mr x]

Yeah, very ghetto...

[moxie]

I like it. I've been using plastic wrap.

Well, it's been a long time since those carboys were in the snow, and although I did bottle and drink a few, this is the first keg to be tapped. Still tasting great, although the head has been disappearing quickly. Might be that I need to clean my lines after kicking the last keg...
