session pils not have enough residual gravity to support the yeast character in comparison?

Nope, hop choice.

ahh, I misread

 

what are you using instead next time? I hear you have some Hallertuaer on hand.

Hall, saaz or something else Nobelish. I will try the motueka version again, it is not awful but not what I had envisioned.

Look at that foam...

Very purdy. Tapping my Bayern fermented Vienna in a few days.

Helles.

[Big Nake]

Helles.

Have you posted your helles in the recipe forum? If not, I'd love to see it. It's a style I make often but I'm always open to see more data. Looks great.

Another damn Vienna

Wow, nice beers guys.

[Big Nake]

That looks great, Poptop.

This one was...

 

10 gallons of RO water w/ 6 gr CaCl   ( pre-boiled the water to de-ox, chilled to strike temp, and added 2.5 gr of "tri-fecta" anti-ox)

 

68% pils

28% pale

2%  carahell

2% sauer malt

 

Full volume mash w/ rests at 148,162, and 172.  1/2 tsp BTB in mash.

 

24 IBU's of Mittelfruh for 60 min. Irish moss for kettle fining. 

 

Fermented w/ 2206.

 

Turned out very nice and clearing quickly.   Looks a little hazy as it was dark when I took the pic.    On my next one in the line-up, I used Golden Promise instead of pale malt.   Curious to try that one.

Another damn Vienna

 

Looks great.   Nice foam too.

Drez, let's do a road trip... Poptop's house first so we can shake off the chill of the north and we'll drain his keg of Vienna and then over to pkrone's house to "help" him with his helles. We can wear shorts. I'll drive and pick you up. Ready?

If any of you are even close, I'll pick you up and bring you over.

I'm LOLing right now looking at your avatar. I have that pic with the girl raising glasses of beer in my "beer label picture folder". I must have 500 of those images. If you go to MY GALLERY there is a VINTAGE BEER ADS section with a number of these old ads and she is in there. Great stuff.

[Poptop]

I'm always searching for pin ups and other stuff like the one in my avatar. I too have a pic folder dedicated to the cause
