Notes

Saaz may be used in place of Kazbek(equal ibu).

34/70, Diamond Lager, and M54 should work well as substitute yeasts.

Carafa II(preferably dehusked) can sub for Blackprinz(or Midnight Wheat in a pinch, although Debittered Black may be a better sub for midnight wheat).

I ferment it straight through at 66 degrees for 14 days, then lager for 3 weeks at 34(4-5 is better but, it is very drinkable at 3).

Beer should be black in color with a thick light tan head, medium/full body with just a hint of chocolate, possibly slight toffee in the flavor with a clean finish.

Scaled Recipe for 5 gallon batch.
