Thank you!
-to previous me! for writing and posting tasting notes on lagers last year. I now remember the lager I was tempted by then but didn't make, was some sort of clone of Brooklyn Lager.
"Brooklyn Lager – supposedly a “pre prohibition” version. Fanjollytabulous. Tasted like a full flavoured American Pale Ale**. It’s a Vienna style lager but with unusual hops- I remember Victory and Cascade. Victory is bred off the more usual Hallertau (again from memory), it’s the inclusion of Cascade that makes it taste like an APA."
-also to the generous brew master Mr Oliver who published the recipe for this!!
I've fiddled with the recipe, but at least I had a starting point. My brew shop doesn't stock one of the hops. Really, I wanted to use up all the bits of left over hops in the fridge. This should clean up my collection right well. Lets hope it also tastes ok. I've also tweaked the grain to deliver a mid range result on major measures for the Vienna Lager style. Hurrah for Brewsmith making this easier. Having got that far, I've also now ordered the grain for pickup during the week.
