Notes

I’m making this in the summer. So I’ll ferment in the upper 60s under pressure. I get it as far below 70 as possible then pitch yeast. I keep it around 15 psi. Once it’s finished I’ll transfer to a keg and let it lager until I want it :-)

This is a summer sipper. The gravity is lower than an actual Helles. I added Munich to get the body so it doesn’t drink like a sub 4% beer
