Willy the Common

grain:
- 16 pounds 2-row
- 2 pounds crystal 40
- 1.5 pounds carapils

hop:
- 1 ounce Magnum for 60 min
- 1.5 ounce Willamette for 30 min
- 1 ounce Willamette for 20 min
- 1.5 ounce Willamette for 10 min
- 2 ounce Willamette at flame out

yeast:
White Labs San Francisco Lager Yeast

comments:
Going for a malty beer with plenty of hops. A bit of a crisp aftertaste from the yeast.

notes:
19 hour lag time prior to Primary fermentation. Fine for a 10 gallon batch split into 2 five gallon carboys. Carboy temperature currently 61 degrees, right in the middle of the range for this yeast. Fermentation smells more pungent than I remember from the last Common.
