I have a mason jar full of slurry from a steam beer. Was planning on making a porter with it that I've made before but I'm losing interest in it. Eventually the yeast will go in a baltic porter.How about mostly pils, a little munich, a little carapils and noble hops - fermented in the low 60s. Will it be nasty?

When it's done, send it to me. I'll tell you how nasty it is.

I made something I called Charcoal Steam with 2112 and it's durn tasty.

I gotta say, i love 2112. I've made cali commons and Cali Uncommons (basically a pale ale). I think It would be a great yeast to ferment anything with. As for your recipe...wouldn't it be like a normal german lager but with the cali yeast? Come on, I bet it will be delish!

I say go for it. I too love 2112. I made a Cal Common first then made a Pale Ale, Amber Ale and IPA. Every beer has been fantastic and fully attenuated. I fermented them at 64 degrees and it was great. I think it should work great in your recipe before your baltic, give it a run.

Brewed it today. 75% Gr Pils 25% Gr munich and a lb. of carapils. Magnum at 60 and a boatload of Hersbrucker & Tettnanger at 20, 10 and 0. Don't know what that is but it's starting to kick off.Evidentially, solved my efficiency problems since I did some maintenance on the mill - ended up with about 45 IBUs and 1.060 - supposed to be ~1.054

Based on DJ's stellar comprehension of base 10 arithmetic, I would still suggest around 1.75oz/5gal of Saaz-type dry hops...just sayin'...
