Notes

Gather enough wort until you have approx 7 gal of wort. Boil for 90 minutes. Cool as close to 46 degrees as possible. Ferment at 48 degrees until terminal gravity is close to being reached and then raise fermenter temp to 60 degrees for Diacetyl rest. Keg and lager at 33-35 deg for 8-12 weeks.

Took 1st place for European Dark Lager at 2016 Sowers Cup

This beer was lighter than a typical Dunkel even though the malt flavor was great. Darkened with 1oz of Sinimar at the end of the boil but you can do the same thing with some cold pre-steeped debittered Black malt as well.
