BREWER COMMENTS
Bottle conditioned. This was supposed to be a Smoked O-fest, but I didnt use anywhere near enough smoked malt. System inefficiencies dropped the beer from O-fest to Vienna. The reason for the different varieties of 2-row was the bin of Dingemans being empty. As brewed, this beer needs more hops, using a full ounce of Saaz might do the trick. In addition, I didnt use a starter for the WLP820, which I should have. Simply using a starter would have improved the attenuation. As judged, it was still somewhat sweet. The recipe seems to be fine, a more experienced brewer ought to be able to make a killer version
