I'm going to try this mash schedule on my next lager.  I also want to try using some of that chit malt.

I agree... beautiful beer.  I think a festbier with 1007 could be really nice.  I had a blonde ale on tap over the summer that was made with Mt. Hood & Santiam, maybe 35 IBUs and 1056.  It's very possible that I could have convinced some beer snobs and brewers that it was a lager.  Nice work.

Exactly, awesome looking brews and the clarity on that Helles is beautiful!

[Village Taphouse]

Thanks Beerheads.  My attention to clarity has been a bit of a sickness since I started brewing.  I have gotten more into some dry-hopped pale ales lately which seems to cause some clarity issues but I will accept that.  For other styles... I like to see bubbles rising in the glass.  LOL.  Cheers.

Really recent.  Mosaic IPA that I brewed exactly 2 weeks ago.  Most of it was served yesterday at a beer fest.  The BrewUnited version of my Scotch Ale was completely blown.  Only the 3 bottles for the competition remain.
