I will post my recipe when I get home from work this afternoon. I created mine like a month ago but just didn't get it ready to go yet. It would be great to get your insight Ken for this one and love to hear what your friend has done as well. JK if you were ready it could be posted together as well. I will probably get mine going for next weekend as I keep brewing ales to keep my stock up before I start some lagers as well.Please post the recipe for the Vienna you plan to make (if you didn't already). I was thinking of making one and I have some info from BryanH on a Vienna he made recently. Btw... I also like the BN podcasts but I have to say that they can sometimes be WAY too long. I listened to the one on reusing yeast and even though there was good info there, it also included some long-winded nonsense. Cheers!

A vienna with no vienna? Hmm. I'm sure it will make a nice beer but I'm thinking that a vienna with no vienna is like a cigar store without a cigar store indian. Also, guys... please let me know what yeast you plan to use. I already have an Oktobefest Lager where I use Wyeast 2124 and a Marzenbier where I use 2206 and I'd like to set the Vienna apart by using a different strain. 2633? White Labs 820? 833? 2308? Cheers.I've been listening to them during my commute and while doing yard work...those are two times when I don't mind a little long-winded nonsense. :rolleyes:I don;t think I've posted my Vienna recipe, I'm still working on it. It's pretty much 2/3 Munich, 1/3 Pils w/ 9 HBUs of Mittelfruh at 60min and 3 HBUs at 10 min (11.5 gallon post boil batch size). OG 1.048, ~20IBU. Maybe mash at 152. WLP830.

Definitely do a Doppelbock, Baltic Porter, etc.it only makes sense that I should make a high gravity lager with my Vienna cake

I think one time I did 2 in one week. Otherwise it's more like once a month b/c I can't drink the beer fast enough!Seriously, do you all brew like twice a week. I get 1 session in every other week if I'm lucky.

I agree with this sentiment, I just don't have the time to brew that much, or the space to keep the finished product on hand once its done. I can house 8 kegs in the kegerator and have room for 2 spares, but that's it. So, if I'm not drinking them quickly enough then I can't brew. I've probably only done 10 batches this year.Ah come one guys whats the deal? I just brewed batches 17 and 18 this past weekend. If one finishes 19 is going into the can. I brew probably 2-3 weekends a month. Thats what I enjoy the most is the planning, brewing and caring the drinking is a plus. If I got a few glasses of each beer I would be happy but I try to share as much as I can. I think I have the mentality to run a brewery and hopefully one day thats what I will do too. Last year I brewed 28 and I am planning to eclipse that mark as well for 2009. I am going tonight and picking up my share of bags of grain (7) from a grain buy here that we got from NCM. I love it. Look at my signature of my post that will tell you what I have on hand. I would brew everyday if I could, brewing is not work to me its a passion of mine.

I only know WL, but 833 is my go to lager yeast and it would work great in a viennaA vienna with no vienna? Hmm. I'm sure it will make a nice beer but I'm thinking that a vienna with no vienna is like a cigar store without a cigar store indian. Also, guys... please let me know what yeast you plan to use.

I'm Indian (feather) and don't smoke cigars. Does one need to be a leprechaun to eat corned beef?A vienna with no vienna? Hmm. I'm sure it will make a nice beer but I'm thinking that a vienna with no vienna is like a cigar store without a cigar store indian.

yes - so many styles, so little time.The problem with those damn podcasts is that every time I listen to one I want to brew that style. Now my brewing queue is like 50 beers long, but I can't decide which one should be the next one.

Well, I got the idea from the aforementioned BN podcast for Vienna Lagers. They seemed to think that you could do a Vienna equally well with 100% Vienna or 2:1 Munich:Pils. Seeing that I have stock of Munich and Pils, that became my starting point for the recipe.A vienna with no vienna? Hmm. I'm sure it will make a nice beer but I'm thinking that a vienna with no vienna is like a cigar store without a cigar store indian. Also, guys... please let me know what yeast you plan to use. I already have an Oktobefest Lager where I use Wyeast 2124 and a Marzenbier where I use 2206 and I'd like to set the Vienna apart by using a different strain. 2633? White Labs 820? 833? 2308? Cheers.
