The trip down to Atlanta wasn’t all bad.
Joe and I both brought a cooler full of good beer. One of which was a nice winter warmer from Brooklyn Brewery:
Next weekend, Joe and I are going to get together to make a Bohemian-style pilsner. (Joe tore his rotator cuff at work - he needs help brewing (which involves a lot of lifting) and I’m all about helping people…) (…when beer is involved…)
When making a lager, you should pitch at least twice as much yeast as you would for an ale. To make ten gallons of lager, you should pitch yeast from a gallon or two of wort. My Erlenmeyer flask is only one liter, so I’ve got to ferment it out, chill to settle, pour off the supernatant, add more wort and repeat. Since I’m going out of town, I’ll probably only end up with three iterations (and as such three liters worth)…
Here’s the starter fermenting away on the stir-plate:
We haven’t quite finished cleaning up the Christmas mess. A few garment boxes are still laying around. Apparently, Oliver felt the need to give one a test drive…
