oktoberfest hybrid beer here we go!




My own little ditty I'm concocting tomorrow.  I have a kegerator that stays between 31-38 that I'm going to lager for two months in (kegging and consuming the weekend of september 22nd).  But do not have a thermostat yet that will allow me to do initial fermentation and lager temps... soooooooooo...

I'm using california lager yeast (wyeast 2112) which should keep it malty and lagery during the primary and also pitching one pack of superior lager yeast that will hopefully be happy in the frige... we'll see and I'll let you know in a couple of months!!
