I started not to revisit this, as the initial batch turned out fine in taste but had the look of off-color almond milk. But I'm a Nectaron fan much like Galaxy when it first hit and with a pinch of all famous honey malt (that I should've put in the first batch like I do to some extent in all of the hazies), this batch has better promise. OG 1.062+0.000 @70F with a healthy 10am pitch of 2nd gen LA3.
Hitting the keg at FG 1.006-0.001 @58F with 5.25% abv, I'm hoping this one's a ringer for North Georgia Homebrew Comp. I needed a quick beer that needs to be drank fresh that's been a winner in the past as I'm also judging this comp and would like to medal as well since I'll already be there obtaining BJCP points. 🤞 Saved a mega pitch of WLP300 for a Weizenbock maybe.
It's become an annual summertime sipper for the neighbors and to be quite honest I need a ringer for an upcoming comp that I'm also judging in. No shame here. WLP300 pitch started without a hitch. OG 1.044+0.001 @74F.
Got my first Vienna lager in the keg today, FG 1.006+0.000 @61F to give it a smooth (hopefully slightly nutty) 4.7%abv. The WLP830 worked it's magic and is safely stored for another batch. Trying to give RP@ now defuncted OTB a run for his previous money.
I have a brew buddy that has since moved and even sold all of his brewing equipment. He brought me out of my extract brewing shell and into all grain. Which has set me on a more accelerated path to my own brewery....one day. He's still a beta taster for me like several others in a very exclusive circle and all have their own code/nicknames, but he a Vienna lager that he brewed several times a summer that was hands down exquisite! To make it worse, he had it dialed in so well that it was simply a matter of finding brew time cause he was already pitching a sh'ton of angry yeast from the last batch in the next! This is my attempt, OG 1.042 +0.000 @73F and crashing for a good WL830 pitch. And if you don't get the name then you're not from around here 😏
