G'day guys here's some pics of my very first BIAB schwarzbier! I've done five BIAB so far and this is the best beer I've ever tasted ! I'm speechless with how awesome it has turned out after four weeks in the bottle. Will definitely make this again

Oh my god what a beer I want more!
 
Looks good,nice carbonation.

I have been a couple of years into BIAB and got the local supplier to do a clone grain recipe for fresh wort he had labelled Cerne Pivo,
czech for black beer,had a mixture of pils,munich, wheat and carafa 3,some super alpha and hallertau hops and stored in the fridge for 4 weeks.
It was a long time until i got it to the mouth but well worth the wait.Good luck to the rabbits tonight.
 
Well done. I'm new to BIAB/all-grain myself and I'm very keen to make a schwarzbier as soon as I figure a few things out.

Could you share the recipe? And include the steps you took during the process? (so a beginner like me can give it a go)
 
G'day guys more than happy to share recipe and thanks for all comments! The recipe is Black Roesler from beersmith 2 but if you don't have that here it is.....

Grain bill
3kg Pilsner Malt
1.9kg Munich
250g Dark choc malt
140g crystal 50
110g Carafa special II

Mash @ 67c for 75 mins
Mash out @ 75c for 10 mins

Hop bill
50g Hallertau @ 60mins
50g Hallertau @ 15mins

2 packets W34/70 lager yeast

Fermented at 12c
When about 6 points or so from FG raise temp to 18c for diacetyl rest until fermenting is done.
Cold crash for 1 week at 2c
Bottle then left for 2 weeks to carbonate
Then lager in fridge for as long as you can bear it!
Brew is to around 22L final volume.
Almost forgot.... OG. 1050 and FG 1012. I hit both spot on! Enjoy people! Go Souths!
