Didn't realize it was typing the tags, specifically, that was the "real PITA". But yeah, if typing the tags is difficult on your phone then go to photobucket.

 

it can be done but I always mess it up.  usually I put the slash in the wrong direction or fat finger and press the wrong key on the phone.  add the fact that every I need to toggle between keyboards multiple times and it's more work than I usually feel like doing just to post a pic.

Dude, Photobucket.

I like Photobucket and think it's pretty easy, but I get concerned with all the pop-ups on the site and risk of virus. Thoughts?
neddles, that is one fine looking beer!

Vast amounts of 34/70 slurry lighting the fuse on the Doppelbock. Star-san'd all points of egress and ingress Measurements? We don't need no stinking measurements.

100% Barke Helles

Nice. How did it come out? What are the hops and yeast? Looks nice. And tall!

[neddles]

Were really digging it. Should be gone soon. Absurdly smooth, clean, and highly characterful for a 100% Pils beer. Its pretty clear what you get from the Barke Pils. Hops were nothing more than 22 IBU of Magnum at 60min. Yeast was 2308 which seems to make terrific beer everytime I use it. Since you were asking about it in the other thread, the ferment was 50F for 4 days and then a slow rise to 65F over the next few days.

Nice. 2308 is a nice yeast, no question. I will probably make some helles or maybe an "American Lager" with the 2124 I have running now. But the thing that occurs to me is that I don't really have to plan way, way ahead when it comes time to have gold lagers on tap when the weather warms up. I usually have them available year-round but a lot more gold lager goes down between May and September. Cheers.

Neddles, what's the abv? Would you share the details? I can't get over the clarity and I'm certain that beer is highly quaffable. Just picked up a sack of Weyermann Barke Pils.

1.052-->1.010, so 5.5%. Came out slightly bigger than anticipated too because I got better extract from the Barke than I was expecting. Not sure if anyone else who has used Barke noticed this or not. Brewtan B and whirlfloc were used but no gelatin. This was the clearest beer I ever kegged. I could easily read newspaper through the 6.5 gallon carboy. This clarity came through from the first pint too.

Thank you.

[neddles]

Thank you.

Your welcome. If I had easy access to a bag of Barke I would buy it immediately. Enjoy yours!

Simple. Just as a German recipe should be. neddles sent me some of the helles he made (a couple years ago now?) and it was very good. My guess is that they're getting even better especially with the Barke Pils. I haven't used a different brand of Pils in over a year, I think. I have been in the habit of adding small amounts (8-12 ounces) of Vienna or Munich 1 to my helles along with a FWH addition too. Once you can nail the style, you're ready to have a full-blown oompah party in your backyard complete with fresh-baked pretzels, snausages and weinerschnitzel! Prost.

[neddles]

Oompah party… yes!!

[Big Nake]

Oompah party… yes!!

Oh, and add a dunkel to that one too. You can pretend your backyard oompah party is being catered by the Hofbrauhaus where you can have light or dark... helles or dunkel.

[Poptop]

Alas my speedy Vienna Lager. Clarity, check. Pic showing clarity, not so much.

Mmm, that looks like a beery beer. Nice work Brother Poptop. What was the yeast again?
