Notes

Inspired by another Alaskan Amber clone from Brewer's Friend, https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/431533/alaskan-amber-clone as well as BYO, https://byo.com/hops/item/582-dusseldorf-altbier-style-profile, but tweaked to more closely match an Altbier and using Imperial Yeast. Will ferment using my STC1000+ Kölsch Profile:
