- This is Sam 76 all over. Extremely Iight/dry/lager crisp/Imagine a new school take on an old school lawnmower beer
For those that love Sam 76 this is essentially it. Only thing I want to try next time is adding equal parts Citra (whirlpool and dry hop) to the recipe. This is the second time this has been brewed and this is extremely crushable. Imagine a new school take on an old school mower beer. For the water I used RO water. Key is to mash LOW! I left this in primary for 2 weeks at 64f. I bumped up the fermentation chamber temp to 68f (via bumping up to 66f for 24 hours then 68f) as the krausen started to drop. I popped this in a secondary fermenter and dry hopped for 5 days. Now the key to cleaning this up is "lagering" the beer. So yes you brewed an ale but after 5 days of dry hopping I dropped my ferment chamber temp down to 30f (no fining agents and let that ride for 7 days. I carbed this to 2.5 volumes using table sugar (would not recommend corn sugar as table is MUCH cleaner/ferments much faster in my experience)
ENJOY!
