CS1 - Paul Fraser's Schwarzbier - 4.6%
Here's my Schwarzbier recipe. I had one last night and it didn't seem as sweet as the Friday so hopefully it will dry out a bit with carbonation.

Notes |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 20/01/13 - Brewed this as per recipe. I chilled it down to 19C with chiller then poured it from kettle to fermenter via a sieve. I then sat fermenter in the fridge till it came to 8C. Didn't get chance to pitch yeast and figured nothing would grow at that temp. 22/01/13 - I rehydrated 2 packets of W34/70 in warm water for 30mins then put this in the fridge to cool to where i guessed it was cold enough to wort temp so that it wouldn't be shocked. Before pitching yeast the fermenter was shaken for about 3-4mins then yeast was added. Wort was at 8C but after vigorous shaking it rose to 9C. I let it rise to 10C naturally before holding it at 10C. 23/01/13 -I came home from work and it was bubbling away nicely. 29/01/13 - Airlock activity was getting a bit sluggish so i took a sample which had an SG of 1.018 so i decided to start a diacetyl rest by ramping temp up to 14C overnight. I couldn't detect any diacetyl and sample tasted nice. A roasty edge which wasn't too overpowering. Hop character low. Hoping that after lagering it will be drier and a bit crisper but looking good so far. 30/01/13 - In the morning i ramped temp to 18C. Came home from work and it was still bubbling slowly. 04/02/13 - Racked to carboy. Put in fridge and turned on to crash cool for lagering planning on lagering for 5+ weeks so will plan to bottle on weekend of 9/10th March. OG was 1.015 and was tasting similar to 29/01/13. Looking good. Hopefully not much oxidation issues. 08/03/13 - Bottled by rehydrating about 1/3 pack of CSK yeast and adding this to the sugar mix just before racking to bottling bucket. |

I've no idea how or why. I'm having one now and i don't get a yeast thing from this bottle. I'll bring another bottle to the next meet up and you can try it again then and see if you pick up the same aroma/taste. Cheers
