Notes

4A Munich Helles

A fool’s paradise is a wise man’s hell. – Thomas Fuller
Using Saflager w-34/70

Use 4.34gal (4gal + 5.44cups) of Uncle Mike's wort (Epifany 2-row). The DME in the recipe above represents this base wort. Low efficiency is an estimate based on mini-mash of specialty grains.

Quick lager schedule in carboy. Fined with gelatin, though probably not necessary. After 2 months in the keg, another beer using the same base wort and yeast was clear without any fining.
