2/5/12 - #6 Cowboy Golden Lager -
Pilsen Lager Liquid Yeast
NET WEIGHT 5 FL OZ (145 GRAMS)
This is the classic American lager yeast. It produces a crisp, malty beer with a dry finish. This is the yeast of choice if you want to reproduce the most popular lager in America, but also works very well in German Pils, Schwarzbier and other crisp lager styles.
Flocculation: Medium
Attenuation: 71-75%
Temperature Range: 48-56° F
Alcohol Tolerance: 9% ABV
1 can HME Cowboy Golden Lager
1 can UME Pale Export UME
BrewVint Alcohol Boost
1 tsp - irish moss – late in boil
2/5/12 - left in garage which stays 10 degrees warmer than outdoor temp. OG=1.052, 7.1% ABV
2/18/12 – gravity = 1.052. WTF? I put the fermenter back inside. Gave it a shake and heard the yeast.
2/25/12 – gravity = 1.018. My babies are alive!
3/2/12 – gravity= 1.009
3/3/12 – gravity= 1.008. bottled today with corn sugar. So about 5.8% ABV
3/17/12 – fridged
3/20/12 – There is still something very “thick” with the light beers that I brew. I think I’ll stop using booster and just go for more barley extract next time. We’ll check the 2nd bottle next. Maybe it was #8
3/24/12 – Bottle # 3 or so was slightly less cloudy
