Notes

Cloned the recipe from Ex Nova Brewery's "The Most Interesting Lager in the World," which is one of their year-around flagship beers. I did a side-by-side comparison with one of their crowlers and it was perfect. Mine was a bit better probably because I lagered it in my shed for about 2 months during a Portland, Oregon winter. Can also use Que Bueno yeast.

Add a twist of lime in the glass before pouring and STAY THIRSTY MY FRIEND!

Strike water:
1.3 g CaCl3, 0.25 tablet Campden, 0.9 g Gypsum. and 2.7 ml lactic acid
Sparge water:
1.1 g CaCl2, 0.25 tablet, and 0.75 g Gypsum
