Vienna Lager Revealed:

I brewed a Vienna Lager on 1/31/10. 

OG = 1.050
FG = 1.005
~ 6% ABV

It fermented in the low 50's for about 3 weeks. I then brought it up to the mid 60's for about 3 days.  I bottled and left in the mid 60's for 4 days.  Its been lagering for about 5 weeks.  Did some of the bottles become straight-up frozen? Yes. Whoops.

The color might be a little light. The flavor is pretty darn-good. I like the beer. I think its smooth and lager-y. The whole being frozen and unfrozen does not seem to have harmed the beer.
