Bitterness: | 41 IBU | |||||

| Alcohol: | 5.2% v/v (4.1% w/w) | |||||||
| Water: | Savannah tap | |||||||
| Grain: | 8 lb. American 2-row 1 lb. 4 oz. Belgian Munich 8 oz. American victory 8 oz. American crystal 40L 2 oz. American chocolate |

| Mash: | 70% efficiency | |||||||
| 60 min @ 154°F | ||||||||
| Boil: | 60 minutes | SG 1.044 | 6 gallons | |||||
| IM at 15 | ||||||||
| Hops: | 1.1 oz. Northern Brewer (7% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Northern Brewer (7% AA, 15 min.) 1 oz. Northern Brewer (aroma) |
|||||||
| Yeast: | WLP029 German Ale yeast from kolsch cake | |||||||
| Log: | 3 weeks in primary at 62F. Lagered at 38F for 3 weeks. | |||||||
| Carbonation: | medium carbonation | |||||||
| Tasting: | Darker, more bitter and roastier than Anchor and also not as "lager-like" smooth (well that's what you get using ale yeast). The hops seemed much more earthy than other N. Brewer beers I've tried - thinking that my LHBS may have had hop packet mislabelled. Still, a very nice beer and worthy of a redo with only change maybe using the San Fransisco Lager yeast. | |||||||
