Well, my wait is finally over for the maibock. This was really the first time I tried to actually lager a beer, and I did it old school to boot. I waited until the dead of winter, brewed the beer, then lagered it in a cave a.k.a the crawl space/basement for two months. So yesterday the beer hit the two month lager mark and was ready to be bottled.
I trudged down the ladder into the crawlspace and hoisted up my golden brown treasure. I got it ready to bottle and gave it a little taste before putting it into the bottle and it was DELICIOUS. Well, worth the wait.
Then I was in a super beer dork mode so I video some of the steps of my bottling. Then being even a bigger dork, if that’s possible I put it together into a compilation video presented for your viewing pleasure below.
Well, there it is in all it’s glory and hopefully in about a week or two I’ll have a review of it up for you. Then if it’s good I’ll have to make a special delivery to Diamond Dave and Jim The Plumber for fixing a leaky pressure reducer in the crawl space that threatened to flood out Ol’ Naps’ Glorious Maibock.
Keep ‘em tippin!
