Notes

Attempt at Devils BackBone Vienna Lager clone.
Yeast has a slow lag time, 1-2 days and typically takes 14+ days to ferment.
This is a wonderful beer. at maturity, 6 weeks lager time and it will clear.
The WLP940 yeast brings out a smooth and a slight caramel taste.
Definitely one to keep on rotation.
