This beer was awesome last year. Dickie looks to improve it with Saaz hops. It was an easy brew day, the easiest 30g brew day we’ve had. Beautiful weather for a change. 5g will go to the Crawfish Boil as Zoigl.

Hit all our times and temps. We filled the kettle to nearly 40g and no room for boil-over. We used the Thermonator and it worked perfectly with no fuss, though it did take a while. We got every drop out of the kettle and finished with nearly a full 30 gallons in the fermenter. We ran a little low on the gravity hitting 1.040 on my hydrometer, but mine seems to run .002-.004 low, so I’m thinking we’re closer to 1.048 than it shows. Sample tasted perfect, and we have a strong bubble in the airlock Sunday morning. I expect this beer to finish dry below 1.010.
