    Uncle Monkey’s Dunkel

    This is a great tasting beer. Tried a couple of blind taste tests with Dunkel purchased at a local store and everyone picked this brew over the purchased one. This one gets better with age. I put a few aside for six weeks and they were great

    I have no real complaints

    This recipe has been the best I've done so far. I've brewed about a half dozen or so and the other all seemed similar. Flavor seemed lightly fruity and finished well. I'd recommend for sure. Oh btw my buddies liked it too!

    My first good experience with lager yeast

    I tried brewing with lager yeast using a cooler and changing the ice periodically but although the beer tasted ok it didn't have clean taste that you expect from a lager. So I bought an inexpensive under desk refrigerator (compressor w thermostat type) and tried again. The max temperature setting for this refrigerator maintained approx. 44 deg F. So I let it ferment for 32 days then bottled it and lagered it at the same temperature for about 3 weeks. The first bottle tasted fine but didn't have much of a head. I took the bottles out of the refrigerator and am now storing in my basement which has an ambient temperature of about 60 deg F. When I am ready to serve I put a few bottles in our kitchen refrigerator for a day or so. Now when I open one I get a nice 2 finger head and clean slighty malty dunkel taste.
