Schwartzenseite Lager

Schwartzenseite Lager

Schwarzbier (Black Beer) • All Grain • 6 gal

Ixnae of Blokhed Homebrewery

Schartzenseite translates literally to "Dark Side"... this is probably incorrect German, but I enjoy it. I have always wanted to do more lagers, and now I live in a house with a basement that is approximately 50 degrees in the winter... Grotchkey!
