Notes
Actually used German Caramunich. Mashed grains in 1/2 gallon of water for 30 minutes at 170 degrees. Rinsed with 170 degrees water. All water carbon/sediment filtered. Failed to achieve the desired O.G. of 1.074 using the above recipe?? Any ideas why? Anyway, O.G. is 1.066, so I failed in this first attempt at an extract Dopplebock. Aerated using aquarium pump & stainless stone for 20 minutes. Pitched 700ml of starter, using the Wyeast Octoberfest, just past high krausen. Hopefully I can edit this as the brew progresses.
