Needed to brew today and not much time so I did an Extract with Steep for this one...

3.0 Lbs. Golden DME
2.0 Lbs. Pilsener DME
1 Lb. 6 oz. Munich LME
8 oz. CaraMunich Malt
3 oz. Pale Chocolate Malt (oops, grabbed 3 oz. Chocolate Malt instead, darker and roastier)
3 oz. Aromatic Malt

0.5 oz. Magnum (14.7 AA) @ 60
0.5 oz. Horizon (11.1 AA) @ 60

0.5 tsp. Yeast Nutrient

2.0 pks Wyeast 1007 German Ale Liquid Yeast

Pitched at 4pm, no activity yet but this yeast seems to take almost 12-15 hours to show up to the party.

Mmm... Bier.

Here she goes as of this morning (looks like the party started overnight)...



And there she blows...



Smells great!

Nice!

Moved this to secondary today and took a gravity sample (taste test)...

After only 11 days, the SG has dropped from 1.058 to 1.016 so I think I'm almost at FG... Or within a point or two for sure...

I'll give it a few more days to cleanup then I'll bottle.

The taste was fantastic! Enough initial bitterness to let you know it's beer, followed by a malty, slightly caramel/chocolate/aromatic yum...

This is gonna be a great drinker once carbed and cold!

Looks great!

Looking good! I'll look forward to more reports.

Finally got around to bottling this today...

Finished at 1.015 so I was right, was pretty much done about a week ago.

Couldn't get to it anyway until today.

Bottled 24 and dropped the rest into a keg.

Should be able to pour from the keg by the weekend since I'm force carbing it.

The beer looks and tastes as before so I'll provide a first pour this weekend if possible.

Sweet!
