Legal Lager

Posted by: Makebeer on 1/25/2009 | 0 Comments

It’s Sunday morning. My daughter took the bus to go skiing. My son is busy playing with his sleepover playdate. It’s time to have a cup of coffee and check my email. I was reminded about a really cool beer label and a recipe that was sent to me by my lawyer.  The beer and label were created by Travis Ganje, my lawyer’s son-in-law. The name of the beer is James B. Stoetzer's Legal Lager:

6.6 lbs. (2cans)  Coopers Unhopped Malt extract

1.5 oz. Perle hops (boiling)

0.5 oz. Cascade hops (finishing)

(Adapted from "HeinieStella European Delight" recipe in The Complete Joy of Home Brewing, 3rd Ed., by Charlie Papazian)

"This is my first Home brew batch, I got the kit for my B-day, I have been using bleach on everything so-far to sanitize everything. In about 4 of 5 days it will be time to bottle for my first time (I am excited) I think I will run the unused bottles in the dish washer without soap(to remove dust and such) then rinse with a bleach mixture to sanitize, one final rinse with water to get rid of the bleach, then bottle my first batch of beer. I hope my method will give me a good brew. If not please let me know, I am a new to home brew." Read more ›

By Piers on Bottling Day:
"Hi there. I have a similar question to Jim. If you are adding sugar to each bottle, should you stir the fermented beer prior to pouring it into the bottles, to evenly distribute any residue etc?" Read more ›
