Has anyone else made the AHA recipe for Zoiglbier?
« on: June 30, 2022, 06:05:45 pm »
This was emailed out to all of us members awhile back.  I made this beer with ingredients I had on-hand and it's decidedly UN-GERMAN because of the way I made it but HO LEE COW is this beer amazing.  I just put my version on tap tonight.  60/40 Pilsner/Munich 2.  I only boil for 30 minutes so I probably adapted the hop schedule... it was at 30/20/10.  The pilsner was Montana Craft, the Munich 2 was Bonlander, the hops were fresh Liberty from YVH and the yeast was 940.  The water was Lake Michigan.  NOT A GERMAN INGREDIENT IN THE BEER!  I'll snap a shot of it soon and post it in the picture thread.  Has anyone else made it?  Amazing and simple recipe.

That seems a lot like a Festbier recipe. Does it taste a lot different to you?

In the festbier I typically make, I only have one hop addition.  The AHA recipe for this one had a 60-minute boil and I don't remember what the times were but I made mine 30/20/10 and I used some nice Liberty that has been excellent here in other beers.
