The second brew for the BJCP Project is an American Light Lager. This beer is also named after Iron Liberty, a cyber espionage group that targets the energy sector. BJCP Style: 1A - American Light Lager BJCP: "Highly carbonated, very light-bodied, nearly flavorless lager designed to be consumed very cold. Very refreshing and thirst quenching.." Brewday 05.02.2021 Recipe: I propagated a 2L starter the day before I had planned on doing a 80/20 2row-flaked rice recipe, but when I came up about 9 ounces short on the flaked rice so I subbed in 9 ounces of pilsner malt Milled 2row/pilsner Now that I have a better idea of how to use Bru'n water I'm using it to calculate my salt additions. I also purchased a cheap scale that shows thousandths of a gram to make it a little easier to weigh out the salts. Pre-boil gravity 1.030SG/7.5P Hop charge Into the boil kettle Post-boil gravity 1.044SG/10.9P Chilling down to ground water temp (about 60F/15.6C) Adding O2 My yeast cell count showed .38 Billion cells/mL. So I pitched 820mL of yeast slurry to get about 1.5 million cells/mL/Plato 05.10.2021 (+8): Hydrometer reading is showing about 1.015 SG/3.8P (1.014 SG/2.5 P corrected) 05.14.2021 (+12): After a few days at cold crash temps the hydrometer reading is showing about 1.006 SG/1.5P (1.005 SG/1.3 P corrected) 05.15.2021 (+13): Transferred to keg for 6 week lagering in the keezer.
