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
Brewed on March 19, 2016 Mashed @ 150°F for 1 hour. Spent 5 weeks in primary. The Munich Lager yeast needs a long ass diacetyl rest so this is the fermentation temp schedule I used. I pitched at 55°F and and cooled to 48°F. I waited for airlock activity about 24hrs after pitching. After that, I counted 4 full days and on March 25, I raised the temp to 54°F. I then counted 5 more days then raise the temp to 58°F. Exactly 2 weeks after I brewed, on April 2, I raised the temp to 64°F and left it to finish up. Man!!! There was airlock activity for 2 more weeks until it slowly stoped around the 16th. On Apr 19, one month after brewing I began to lower the temp 5°F every day until it got down to 35°F. Finally on April 27, I transfered to secondary for largering for 6-7 weeks. Until June 1st 2016 at least... Longer if I have the willpower to wait. OG: 1.058 FG: 1.009. ABV 6.43% Tastes Around 30 IBUs (tasted when transferring from primary to secondary)
