Listening to the game in the backyard today with a glass of Bordertown Dark Lager...

Edel Helles.   Lots of condensation on the glass.   Hot out in the garage...

[Big Nake]

That looks great, pkrone. Nice color and great head on that beer!

Beauty of a beer for the Cubs. We were at Saturday's "Cub" game in Miami = fantastic. Nothing beats a 24oz can of Pacifico Lager for $14

Tapped my first ever attempt at a dunkel last night.   Not clear yet, but oh so tasty...

 

[neddles]

Very nice.

[Big Nake]

Yeah, looks good. I waited far too long to make one but there are plans for one now with this Omega Bayern/Augustiner yeast. Probably a couple weeks out on that beer.

[pkrone]

2206 for this one.   Very clean profile.  

[Big Nake]

The first Dunkel I made was with 2352 which was one of Wyeast's seasonal strains and supposedly Augustiner's yeast. When I retired that yeast and learned that I couldn't get it anymore, I was bummed. Someone mentioned Omega's Bayern being the same yeast and the first beer I've made with it (a pilsner) is in a keg and I believe the strains are the same. The yeast profile adds a delicious character to the beer. It's great for things like pils, helles, American premium, etc. but it can also work well in a Vienna, dunkel, festbier, bock, etc. It might be moving up the list to become my favorite lager yeast!

Now pouring Golden Lager.

[Big Nake]

Wow, looks great brother. 6.5%? Careful out there.

Beauty.

Ken, I know right? With non crystal beers I always hit better numbers. I just dialed down my grain bill on a Golden that's currently lagering for that very reason and I came in at 1.050. I'm learning....

Thanks Steve U. You and Ken give me huge Lager inspiration.

Beauty.

This. Pretty pic there.

Just tapped this today- my tribute to Duval; didn't bother to clarify it. Like the target beer- its deceptively smooth at 9%. I'm calling it "Doofus", because after a couple, well- there you go.

 

[positiveContact]

not the best pic but that little bump of head sticking over the top of the glass is the beer equivalent to "side boob".

 

[pkrone]

Heh.   I can probably pour you up a full frontal if you'd like.             Tasty looking beer BTW.
