Brewing beer can be a fun and rewarding hobby, but it's important to ensure you have the right conditions and equipment to make a successful batch. It sounds like the recipe for the Old Town Lager may not be a good fit for your current setup, but it's great that you're willing to wait for another month and explore other options. If you are able to successfully brew a batch of Old Town Lager or any other beer, I'm sure many people would love to see your photos and hear about your experience. -
Thanks for the input 👍 The boil was 60 minutes. In the original recipe it says to go for a 90 minute boil. It also uses candy syrup but I have to order it specially and it bumps up the price quite a bit, so I used table sugar. Ditto for the yeast - MJ41 works fine and it’s half the price of Wyeast or White Labs. If it ferments out properly, and you lager it for a few months (two to three), you get a decent approximation to the real thing. I might try a longer mash and boil next time just to see… -
Not really. If you are happy with the result there is not much point in changing the recipe. It is just unusual to have such a short mash but it obviously is doing what it has to do, i.e. convert the starch in the malt to sugars via enzymes, so that they can be fermented. The step mash is using different temperatures as the 2 main enzymes work best at 2 different temps. How long was the boil, I didn't notice it listed in the recipe? -
