Notes

Strisselspalt would be a good hop substitute.

"Dry hop" with 2-3oz of wheat malt to inoculate wort with Lacto for proper taste profile.

Use clean finishing Yeast

Bring fermentation up to 66-67 degrees for about 3 weeks.

Bottle around 2 volumes CO2 to make sure there are no bottle bombs. Once carbonated, drink quickly.
