Just in the planning stages. Anybody know what NG is stocking for Wyeast lagers?

LAGER YEASTS LIQUID
2112 California Lager Yeast
2278 Czech Pilsner Yeast
2206 Bavarian Lager Yeast

Also, they will special order Wyeast and it comes in really quick; I think they order every 3 weeks or so. I recently ordered the seasonal Munich Lager II and I had it inside 2 weeks.

Now this thread intrigues me a great deal. Amarillo is by far my favourite hop, but I've never used it in a lager. Definitely subscribed to this thread. Any recipe details, X?

I got some special order lager yeast that I likely won't be able to use all of.

Probably throw it together tomorrow at work. Nothing too crazy though. Likely 3 grains max. Maybe a small bit of flaked corn.

Brewing at work now.. geez, getting real ballsy!

I did an all citra IPA with WLP 802 Czech lager and it turned out well, needed a lot of time to lager until it smoothed out right. Had some sulfurish notes prior to settling out.

Probably go this route again. Might mix in some cascade too.

Might trim down on the gravity, get it more sessionable.

^ Looks great! I'd love to make this one as well!

Jesus, X, that's a lot of flaked maise. Only bit of colour in that must have come from the hops.

Is a fair bit, but it was a great beer.

Well, the lager part was an epic failure. Pitched Saturday at dinner, and still no action. Said fuck it, jacked up the temp and threw in some -05. 1272 is rocking nicely at 62f.

After that fiasco, I just kegged it up, and the lager drama turned out pretty damn tasty. Finished at 1.009. 1272 coming up.

hmmmmmmmm...the 1272 finished at the same gravity, but it's not quite as smooth, almost seems a touch cranky, but still pretty damn good.

I may give this a whirl next week. Thinking of splitting it 5 Gal on S-23 and 5 Gal on WLP830-German Lager

Just getting into this now. I'm happy with it, could have been a bit better two months ago, lol. But it's great as a summer beer, although I might knock the abv down 1%.

Planning a variation of this recipe for this weekend. Likely going to mix some Cascade in along with Amarillo and subbing in either 2-row or Pale malt for the Pils. Targeting around 5% ABV. Fermenting with US-05 around 60ºF (first run with the new conical). Need to start getting some easy drinking stuff ready for poolside this summer.
