Brewing and tasting for the win!
I took this back to basics and challenged myself to make a Lager with 2-row. I let the ingredients do the talking for me and see how it will turn out. When I milled the grain it smelled like marshmallows. I hope the beer turns out similarly.
I boiled for 90 minutes. I did an ounce of Tettnanger at 60 and an ounce of Hersbrucker at 20.

I was gifted some 2 Row and I thought I would go out and get a few ingredients and see if I could whip something up really quickly. Seat of the pants-type stuff. Really pushing the boundaries. I went into my local brew shop and told them that I had a ton of 2 Row and wanted to make a stout. 1 0z of EKG in at 60 and 20 mins. SafAle 05 and into the fermentation fridge. November should be a great time to crack open one of these.

| Chocolate | 1 lb |
| Roasted Barley | .5 lb |

A new bier to celebrate Oktoberfest is what the need calls for these days. I recently was gifted some grain and I wanted to put it to the test.
I kept the boil to 60 minutes and forgot to add the hops in until 30 minutes left with the boil. I did a half ounce at 30 and another half of Hersbrucker at 20.
