Notes

Use a 2 step starter to get from 34B to 400B yeast cells to pitch
1L with 114g DME, 3L more with 342g DME

Ferment low at 16c
After Gravity 1.014 rack to 2nd fermenter and drop temp 1c per day for 12 more days. Add gelatine after a week in 2nd fermentor
Rack to keg and lager for 2 more weeks low carb pressure .85 atmos. Bottle with 24g dextrose for 4.5L

Could use all Munich malt but have added pilsner malt for a drier taste, the wheat malt for a creamier head. Boil for 30-50 mins before adding hops to get a little more colour than predicted

Didn't have any Spalt handy so used Hallertau Mf instead. The Northern brewer is to get IBU's up without too much hop material in boil
