Rather than grabbing another ice cold 1.004 FG beer, I opted to pull the plug when the FG hit 1.011. A point low of the style guide but whatever. It’s beer first, a märzen second. Into the keg it goes. A few weeks keg conditioning, a few weeks cooling and carbonating, and she’ll be ready for consumption a full month late.

Novemberfest: the newest of holidays
Happy Oktoberfest Novemberfest! It’s what you celebrate when you miss the required beer birthday (or conception day?) for an Oktoberfest. Grind, mash, boil, hop, cool, and ferment. It’s that easy right? Pilsner, Vienna, Munich, Aromatic, Crystal 20/40, and CaraPils were crushed and put to work with Tett. Old Safale Number 04 is working to make sugar into alcohol as I write this.
