Schwarzbier

A Schwarzbier is a malty lager with a small amount of de-husked roasted barley to give it a dark color without the toasty flavor you get from something like a Stout.
I have been working on my methods of harvesting and re-pitching yeast. I have been using WLP830 German Lager yeast which is very versatile. So let's take them from light lagers to amber to dark or schwarz. Once you go black you can't go back, with yeast that is. Yeast can pick up the flavors from the dark malts and carry over to your next batch so it's been a good run my friends. I think I will go for the Southern German variety of yeast next time. Time to make a Munich Helles.
