Notes

This beer is based on a traditional single malt Munich Helles that celebrates the simplicity of the malt and hops. The hops can be swapped out for any other German noble hop but I would steer clear of any new world hops or it is no longer a Munich style Helles.

The mashing regime is a typical step mash starting at 62c with two temperature rests, 62c and 72c. To get from 62 to 72c you can either do a normal temperature step with an electric element or you can do a decoction to raise the temperature. Either is suitable depending on your ability or equipment etc.

This recipe is written for a BIAB full volume mash, but you can easily calculate the mash volume in order to perform a sparge if your system requires it.
