Whirly Bird has long been an ale house. Even our Novemberfest had some ale yeast snuck into the fermenter. Well, today is the day we naively decided to change this. Without much of an understanding on lagering cycle, off we go.

New equipment
The fire was lit, the pils and Marris Otter were mashed, and things were off to a boil in the new, huge kettle. As the flame died out, that’s when we started piling on the hops. Ounces and ounces and ounces of El Dorado and Mosiac are turning this classic lager into a tropical, hoppy experiment.
