All Grain Recipe: #26 Rogue Dead Guy Clone

This was an infected disaster. It was infected some time in secondary by my house wild yeast. It started fermenting again out of nowhere, and by the time I threw it out it had an astringent, Belgian-y flavor.

Let us never speak of it again.

For those curious, the recipe came from Can You Brew It, and is just after the break. I included notes I took while listening to the podcast, which is here.

Notes
OG: 1.065 FG: 1.013-1.015 IBU: 40 SRM: 15 Single Infusion, 152 mash This is a sort of Maibock style of beer. Used to be fermented with a maibock lager yeast, but is now fermented with the Rogue pacman ale yeast, which can give a clean, lager-like flavor when fermented cold. Pitch heavy and use yeast nutrient. Some residual sweetness is good, so he doesn't like it to finish out too dry - around 1.014. Used to be Perle and US Saaz, but they replaced the US Saaz with Sterling. No water adjustments. Cold crashed in bright tanks for an extended period. The key to the beer is the sweetness from the Munich malt in the mid-palate. Rogue has an alehouse in SF? Tasty recommends that you let the beer boil just a little bit before taking the gravity reading, then adjust with DME if it is lower than expected. If you're having trouble hitting numbers it is probably because of evaporation rate - gas regulator setting, propane levels, wind, etc can affect the rate. Rolling boil should only just turn over the surface, with no splashing. In hour you should boil off 8 - 15% of volume.
