Wyeast 1007 German Ale™
Wyeast 1007 German Ale™
Ferments dry and crisp, leaving a complex but mild flavor. Produces an extremely rocky head and ferments well down to 55F.
Notes
Mash at 54 deg until done (~1 hr). Roiling boil for a full hour before beginning hop schedule. Ferment at ~65 deg until finished (10d?) and leave alone for 3-4d more. Then secondary at ~45 deg (take a week to get down, so as not to freak out the yeasties!) for as long as you can stand (4-6 wks). Bottle condition at least one month. You're loking at about 3mo start-to finish, so be sure to have a steady supply of beer onhand before you start this one!
