Notes

Original recipe earned a Silver Certificate at the 2016 National Homebrewing Competition (37 points, one short of Gold), in spite of low carbonation.

1st place 2020 Amador County Fair.

Variations to consider:

Malt: Use only Munich for base malt (no Vienna) or replace Vienna with Pilsner. Use some midnight wheat (replace some carafa). Small amount of or caravienne or even smaller amount of melanoidin.

Hops: Additional flavor hops.

Yeast: WLP 833, Wyeast 2308, or Saflager S-23 or W34/70.
