Also, don't be overly concerned about letting the wort chill for a period in your lager freezer. If your sanitation is sound, that wort will be fine chilling to proper pitching temps.Very good to know for my next lager runSent from my iPad using Tapatalk

i just kegged and started the lagering process..was kinda strange, it almost had a wine like character but finished malty/hoppy ..Anybody know what this wine flavor is? is very subtle but very annoying..im hoping the lagering will take care of it..Lager styles are tricky i am quickly realizing
I could see acetaldehyde giving an impression of wine-like if you're not familiar with it. Sherry like could be oxidized ingredients (grain) I suppose[/quoteyou know since you said that it made me notice im getting a apple note rather then wine..there is no sour vinegar presence at all..i just confused wine with apple some how..im getting sam adams with a splash of apple juice..gonna let her rip @ 33 for 2 months
if it's acetaldehyde you should be able to 'boil' it out. acetaldehyde boils at around 70*f so if you take a sample and warm it to 75 for a day you should no longer taste the apple, or at least it should be reduced.You might also be able to deal with it by krausening the beer (pitching a large active starter into the beer).

I have a pack of S-33 on hand will that work? Or go with a clean strain like us 05?
