These are tasting quite good. the pale lager is still sweet but doesn't finish sweet and has pronounced bitterness. The all pils malt bill of the dunkel is very different that the 50/50 pils/Munich that I've used in the past. It's very light.
Packaged the light lager (German Lager?) on March 6th. Kegged at 28psi for 48 hours. The carbonation seemed about right. Someday I'll have to invest more time into dialing in my CO2 levels.
It's tasting very much like a Summit Keller Pils, a little sweeter and a bit less bitter. At this point it is a fresh pilsner, it hasn't undergone lagering yet. The cold storage will happen as it sits in my fridge and I'll enjoy it as the flavor changes. This is one of the things I like about home brew, it's not a packaged commodity, I get to enjoy it a every stage of its life!
How much is that lager in the window?
