Pathetic name I know..
Anyway my first ever go at a steam beer
4.7KG Lager malt
170g crystal
75 torrified wheat
23 grams Northern Brewer 60 mins
15grams Northern Brewer 15 mins
25 Grams Northern Brewer 0 mins flame out and steep
MJ California Lager yeast
Seemed to have a touch more wort this time (I did add a little bit too much water when I put in my pot last night but left it)
I got nearly 24 L @ 1049 so thats nearly 77% efficiency which given full BIAB isn't bad at all imo.
Pitched at 20 and now sitting at 18 in my cool brew bag fingers crossed it all goes off..
Does anybody have an opinion on lagering these?? I would lager in the bottle.. Or does it not matter?
