Brew Day 5/15/10

Brewed ~6 gallons today, half will be fermented with a lager yeast (Wyeast Oktoberfest) and the other half with the Wyeast 1968 (London ESB). The grainbill is basically a Oktoberfest/Maerzen type of beer. This will be my first lager in a while, the starter was not going very strong when I pitched it, but hopefully the beer will get going soon. The idea with the 1968 portion will be to have a nice yeast cake to pitch a big English Barleywine in a couple weeks....and to have some nice English 'session' beer.
