DKM Best of Show - Dennis King's Mexican Lager
Dennis had just the one entry in the 2006 DKM competition, but that's all it takes. With this beer, he took the prize. The second time in 3 years that has happened with the DKM. (And by the way.. how appropriate that a D. King would win the Doug King competition!)

Notes

Yeast was out of date, but was propogated over two weeks to recover a workable slurry.

Protein rest was only performed with the 6-row. Other grains were introduced in the sac rest.

Wort was pitched a little too warm and the beer was crashed at freezing to bring to a fermentation temp of 52°F for 8 days

Diacetyl rest was performed at 62°F for 5 days and then slowly lowered to 44° for lagering.

Beer was conditioned for approximately 3 months and finished at 1.016 (4.16P)
