![]() I had to make a few modifications on the fly. A much smaller mill but it got the job done really well. Rather than build one, I did the only reasonable thing, I bought a Barley Crusher mill with the 15 lb hopper. It still works, and is still heavy duty but never had a reasonable hopper. I previously had the Jack Schmidt Maltmill. LA Homebrew closing has caused me to have to go back to milling my own again. ![]() I also bought a new malt mill from Morebeer. ![]() I will be brewing at least 5 beers this year starting with this Hefeweizen. A pound of Hallertau and a few different yeasts. I bought a 55lb sack of pilsner from Morebeer along with several German base grains. I could’ve sworn I brewed a beer in 2023 but who knows. It’s been nearly a year since I last brewed as best I can tell This is hard to believe. May enter it in a competition under several styles if it works out well, given how it’s right at the top of Marzen/Pilsner and low on the Festbier. Clarified with gelatin in the keg and look forward to seeing the finished product. It’s on the low side of a Festbier for sure but it’s very flavorful and I really enjoy seeing how this one turns out. Around 1.009 from a starting gravity around 1.052. Can’t wait for it to get a little cool, watch some Saints and LSU football and drink this beer.įinal gravity is very dry. Cold crash next and then transfer to a keg with gelatin for clarification. In my experience this is a pretty complete fermentation. Fermenting right around 50F for the first 5-7 days and then ramping up a couple of degrees daily for week two as it appears to slow down. ![]() The fermentation appears to have gone fine. So a little under gravity, and probably a little less bitter due to the extra water volume, but still very much what I’m looking forward to drinking in September/October. I may need to really get it rolling for days like this. I notice that seems to happen in humid days. With the exception that the boil off rate seemed really low. A style I very much enjoy at the low end of it’s range. Keeping the brewing going for the Fall with Festbier. ![]()
