initial recipe formulation!

taking notes from https://beerandbrewing.com/make-your-best-maibock/ although the author seems to have a non traditional approach to the style.
i like the malt bill he suggests pilsner, low on the munich, and maris otter. "brings doughy bready note without being heavy" he also is advocating for this beer to truly be maibock that its a lighter version of bock. too heavy of a grain bill and body and you might as well just have bock.
browsing around byo and other places the malt bill for this varies a lot. some use crystal, some use wheat, some use vienna.

doing straight hallertau. a little bit more hops than some recipes but ibu falls into expected range. using warrior for bittering since hallertau is so low AA.

going with tap water. my current theory is that malty beers (like my oktoberfest and festbier) come out great with henrico tap.

consider doing 10gallons? might be too big a beer tho
