This lager came out stellar! I will be using Mt. Hood hops more often and this strain of yeast as well. Very clean flavors, and refreshing.

  • 0.25 lbs White Table Sugar (Sucrose)

    Common household table/baking sugar. Lightens flavor and body of beer. Can contribute a cider-like flavor to the beer if not cold-fermented or used in large quantities.

  • 2.0 oz Mt. Hood - 5.4 AA% pellets; boiled 45 min

  • Wyeast 2308 Munich Lager™

    Wyeast 2308 Munich Lager™

    A unique strain, capable of producing fine lagers. Very smooth, well-rounded and full-bodied. Benefits from temperature rise for diacetyl rest.

Notes

Infusion Mash at 153 degrees for 60 minutes using 1.5 quarts per pound of grain. Batch Sparge with same ratio until you reach 6.5 gallons of wort collected. Boil 60 minutes, follow hop schedule. ferment at 52 degrees for two weeks, then diacetyl rest for 3 days at 66 degress. Lower temp to 40 degrees and dry hop for 2 more weeks as colder temps require lengthier dry hop time. Regardless of what you have read, dry hopping at colder temps can be done, it just takes a little longer. This beer really came out well; very aromatic and flavorful. Mt. Hood hops are very underrated and much more versatile than advertised, IMO.
