Notes

Ideally use German two-row malt. American Malt is OK if protein is 11.5%. Do not use malt higher than 2L.

Hop varieties; Hallertauer Mittelfruh, Tettnanger, Hersbrucker. Acceptable North American substitute is Mt. Hood.

Mash times values are rest times. Not time it takes to reach temperature.

90-120 minute boil. First hop addition 15 mins in. Second is 30 mins later.

Filter to 2-3 microns.
