Notes

Thanks to COVID-19, my LHBS was out of all the base malts and yeast I wanted for a Munich Helles! I improvised some substitutions, and this was the result.

Diacetyl rest at 60-65 °F for 2-3 days. Lager at 45 °F, decreasing to 34 °F over 2 weeks.

The water adjuncts are obviously specific to my local water.
