November comp - lagers

[Broken Toe]

lager/kolsch/pseudo lager to include European and American styles

I've been part of a fair few of these now and I lucky enough to be hosting this month's lagers.

This covers everything around the world of lager and pseudo. So please DM if you would like to get involved.

Will be looking to be tasting on the first or third weekend of December.

I'll send in a bottle.

I’m brewing a Mexican lager at the weekend, hopefully I’ll have it ready in time!

Last 2 bottles you’ve sent me were reused Corona bottles so hoping I can tap into your obvious affection for the Mexican lagers, even if the beer might be a bit young!

Yeast starter took off like a rocket (signs of activity much sooner than the London Ale II I used for my last brew despite them both having similar time left before the best before dates) - it’ll be my first time using the Whitelabs Mexican lager yeast. I’ve just used Lallemand Diamond the 2 other times I’ve done one.

 

[Broken Toe]

You know me well!

Sounds exciting, not used that yeast myself either. Looking forward to it.

A plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel!

Definitely have a Schwarzbier for this one and possibly a pilsner.

It’ll be beer in time for judging, it might not be good!

That's all any of us can hope for

I’m pressure fermenting as well, so hopefully I can fit in 3 weeks fermenting and a week lagering, bottle already carbed straight from FV and send straight to you.

It’ll definitely be a test of my brewing skills/setup. If you do first weekend of December I might struggle, but if you’ll “do a me” and allow entries up to judging I should easily make the 3rd weekend.

 

[Broken Toe]

make the 3rd weekend

For you, I'll judge in January...

Yeah. Third weekend actually works better for me.

a week lagering

If you let me know a temp, I am happy to store it at temp for you.

I basically have fridge cold, house temp, garage temp, freezer temp and a control temp available for anyone who needs it.
