Wow!! Both the beer and pretzels oh boy!! Was this the Bayern Vienna?

[Big Nake]

I have a recipe for pretzels but Drez... you made need to post yours. Put it in the beer recipe section or the cookbook section in the PH but please post it. Those look outstanding.

Thanks and yes it was... that yeast is great

It is nothing special, just a King Arthur recipe but I will post it up latter.

One thing I have done before is make the "line" of dough that I use for the pretzel too fat. I'll put it into the pretzel shape but when it bakes it expands and ends up more like a bagel that sort of resembles a pretzel. Yours are nicely defined and look great. Cheers.

I know I mentioned this but we went to a party in the neighborhood a few years ago and I brought homebrew and I made pretzels too. I got between 35 and 40 pretzels and baked them just before we left. My wife found a basket for them and I covered them with a towel to keep them warm. We walk over there go inside and I put the basket on the kitchen island where people were eyeballing it (you could smell them!) and then I walked out to the backyard to say hi to the hosts. I was out there for about 10 minutes and then came back inside and the basket was EMPTY! Not one left. I looked around the kitchen and everyone had one in their hand. I need to be quicker next time.

Snowy day haze! All whirlpool and dryhops. El Dorado, Simcoe and Mosaic. Love those floating diptubes... 3 oz in the keg and no floaters.

I’m certain it tastes even better than the picture. Nice picture by the way.

Thank you!  I am really pleased with this one.  New recipe that needs a couple minor tweaks but will be a regular around the taps.

 

ETA:  Funny it is taken from about the same spot as the Vienna ... what a difference the snow makes!

Beautiful. So were those 3 ozs. of dry hops added loose in the keg?

Yes they were, before I racked over.  2 oz cryo pellets and one ounce regular.  Pint one after 1 day in had a touch of hop particles but after that nothing.

Great thanks. I really want to try that on an upcoming brew.

One more question I thought of... was that NEIPA force carbed or spunded?

This is the one we talked about with the sugar addition in the fermentor then kegged.

Ah yes, I do recall. Thanks. Ill be curious to know how well that hop character sticks around.

Czech Pale Lager with Omega Bayern.

That looks great Drez. The snow, not so much. But the beer looks nice.
