Notes

Used 'Superior' Lager Yeast actually. This brew has a plum-like quality to it, true to the style. The maltiness is mostly due to a ferm schedule of 7 days primary and 4 days 2ndary. The candi sugar was added at day 2 of 2ndary ferm to create a very full bodied(and darker than i expected) beer with a sweetish, almost licorice taste. Used multirest mash->120F-20min-->145F-45min-->153-155F-40min. Very refreshing but higher alcohol could be attained with more time in 2ndary. Highly carbonated and primed with candi sugar(less due to less time in 2ndary). This one is my friends absolute favorite beer, if you'd like a little different and intriguing taste in your brewing, this ones for you.
