Notes

Just want to make a simple refreshing lager with a lower ABV.

Chucked 10% rye in to see if it adds a little extra flavour.

Fermenting the S-23 at 16 degrees is a bit over the optimum temp but I didn’t notice any bad side effects.

Crystal clear and tastes amazing. The only thing I might change next time is add a little bit of something to add a tiny bit of colour.

I entered this in a local club competition and it came back with notes about flavours caused by fermentation issues so maybe it wasn't as good as I thought. I probably need to drink more lagers!
The other comment was that it was too dark for a helles

Oops I mean too light
