Notes

made this last spring (2017) and it was delicious
keeping munich/vienna at 20% each
bumped up late hops and switched to saaz from saphir
going a bit higher ABV at 7% (expected)
water recommendation is a bit high. ended up with a lot of extra wort last time and lower efficiency. Use about 30-32L next time instead of 34
dropped Vienna for the 2019 version; not expecting too much of a difference if it's even noticeable at all.
2020: changed to 20% Munich II (10°L)
2022 version came out more like a Märzen with 27% barke munich. Dialed that back to 13% for next time. Also I've been using Sterling for bittering/FWH addition as it seems to have slightly more assertive bitterness than Magnum.
2023: 13% Munich is really nice, actually tastes like a Heller bock. keeping that ratio.
2024: 12% barke munich, double batch hit 75% efficiency finishing at 16°P
2025: cut out 1kg of pils, added more munich for ~15% since 2024 batch came out too high. shooting for 6.5%
