Back at the beginning of February I blogged the brewing of a light lager and an amber lager. After seven weeks in the relative temperature stability of my sister’s crawlspace (usually at a comfortable 45°F, which is just perfect for lagering), I’ve finally got it bottled.

I read about 1.003 on the scale. Without compensating for the slightly different temperatures at the time of the two readings, that gives me about 3.1% alcohol by volume–perfect for this kind of brew. And check that color: I did say light lager, did I not?
