We decided to try another crack at an overnight mash schedule. Well, everything would have been great, however my chest freezer died the very minute as I lowered in the fermenters. Temperatures for making lagers are in the 50’s and not the 80’s. $70 later and a Saturday of sweat and frustration, I had to dump the batch. I kegged it and thought that even with these high temps it would still would mellow out after a few weeks, but not the case. It tasted awful. Here are some images.
