I was worried about the fermentation temps being a little warm and my suspicions might have been confirmed when I tasted it during kegging. It had a subtle high fermentation temp aroma and taste but again it’s my first finished lager and not yet carbonated so I don’t know what’s normal yet. The temps were within range for the yeast strain but not necessarily as low as I was looking for.

The sample final gravity was 1.014 for an attenuation of around 71%, just barely below the average for the Wyeast 2206.

Updates coming next week with tasting results.
