Other IMBC Happenings

We brewed up our first rendition of a Muchen style Helles.  We stuck to the traditional basics for this one and kept the gain bill very simple with almost entirely German Pils.  We hopped with Hallertau and Tradition, and are fermenting it with a southern German lager stain.  We utilized a multiple step mash, starting with a very thick and low temperature mash.  We added a couple hot water infusions and employed our RIMS for additional steps.  This will a 2 hour boil helped produced a wort that will be highly fermentable and should leave us with a beer reminiscent of our favorite German bier halls.  We're keeping a close eye on this one and will begin ramping up fermentation temperature once we see about 90% of fermentation complete.  Then we'll drop the temp back down and lager for 6 weeks.

Up next is some more Prohibition Ale.  Oh and we're on Instagram #idolmindsbrewingco and Facebook.
