Update #1

2009-03-04 3:03pm

The beer has now been cold conditioning at 35 degrees F. for one week. I tried a sample and man is it good. No reason for me to ever buy an imported lager (Stella). I have to admit its one of the best beers I have brewed. I think it has to do with the malts and the low mash temperature. 148 degrees. I will update next month on all the details.
