Notes

Can substitute with a small amount of steeping Munich malt for complexity instead of Munich LME.

Wyeast 2124 (Bohemian Lager) or SafLager W-34/70 (Ferment at 50-55°F for best result

Heat 2.5 gallons of water to about 160°F.
Stir in the malt extract syrup until fully dissolved.
Bring to a boil and follow the hop schedule above.
After 60 minutes, remove from heat and cool wort to 50-55°F as quickly as possible.
Transfer to fermenter and top up with cold water to reach 5 gallons.
Pitch yeast and ferment at 50-55°F for 2-3 weeks.
Lager the beer at 34-40°F for another 3-4 weeks to refine the flavor.
Bottle or keg, carbonate to 2.5 volumes of CO2, and enjoy!
