Notes

Mash in at a strike temperature of 130 °F (54 °C). Rest for 30 minutes then raise the mash to conversion temperature at 154 °F (68 °C). Hold for one hour and sparge at 172 °F (78 °C).

Collect wort until the specific gravity falls below 1.008 or pH exceeds 5.8. Add water so you have a little over 6 gallons (23 L) (I want 7 gallons) of wort before the boil.

Boil the wort for two hours, adding hops at 120, 60 and 30 minutes remaining in the boil. After the boil, cool the wort with a wort chiller and aerate well.

Pitch the yeast at 65 °F (18 °C), but drop the temperature over the course of one week to 55 °F (13 °C). Hold at 55 °F (13 °C) until fermentation is complete — about two weeks. Rack and lager at 35 °F (1.6 °C). Lager for a minimum of one month, preferably longer.

This is version 2.0, I increased German Pilsner to 8.25 from 7.5m lbs Munich to 4.4 from 4.0 and Smoke to 1.5 from 1 and increase 60 minute hops to .50 from .25, looking to get more beer into fermentation increased OG from 1.066 to 1.073
