Landlord.
Spring just started here so while the tank water is still cold I thought I'd knock out a lager or two.
We're in the middle of rebuilding a maimai (NZ term for a duckshooting hide) so a Maibock seems apt, especially as we camouflage it with manuka bushes and I want to use some smoked manuka malt.
Recipe: (23 litres)
WLP 833 German Lager Bock yeast.
Approx 7.2% ABV.
Big beer that needs a starter, so boiled up 295g DME to make 3 litres a couple of days ago...
And put it on a stirplate at 20 degs in a sterilised 5l measuring jug...
Brew day morning it had thickened up, so I put it in a fridge to settle out...
