Notes

Ferment less than the suggested temperature to subdue the phenols. Authentic German Heffs do not have the strong phenols that many American commercial products have. Pitch with a starter to counter low temp.

Use Gambrinus(SP?) Honey malt for a light honey flavor. No more than a half lb.

Cold Crash for 3 days @40F after primary fermentation is complete.
