The last brew of this went really well. With the next installment I wanted to use a new Lager yeast to enhance some of the roasty notes of this beer. A great roasty smell from the boil just lit up my senses. I hit this at 1.059 and it should turn out to be a 6% lager. I switched up the boil and left it to 60 mins. Hersbrucker hops in at 45 and 20 minutes. I’m glad I got this done in the morning before the heat of the sun kicked in.

When I brewed the first Dopplebock DopFiend this year it was bad. I tried to save it, but it was not the quality I had hoped for. This re-brew I punched it down a bit and hoped the flavor would stay as roasty as I remembered all those years ago.

Hersbrucker hops introduced at the 60 minute mark of the 90 minute boil. A half ounce for 60 minutes and a half ounce at flame out. The brew went well on a hot summer day. I fulfilled my promise of brewing this again soon.
