Notes

Recipe provided to Craft Beer & Brewing by Eric Toft, brewmaster at Private Landbrauerei Schonram in Upper Bavaria.

This recipe will get you close to the original, but not the same. Too many differences in what they brew in Germany vs what we can get here. (Tettnang grown Hallertauer Mittelfruh - seen that lately - or a fresh pitch of krausen from a fermenting batch of Schonramer Hell - you get the picture.)

Note: I believe 'Tradition' Hops are Hallertau Tradition. (Carried at Yakima Valley Hops)

Pitch at 43 degrees in a sanitized bucket loosely covered with foil and allow the temp to rise to ferment temp at 49. Crash slowly and lager for 6-7 weeks. Take your time with this beer.

Start with RO water.
Target Water Profile: (to attain a dry, crisp, flinty finish)
CA: 50, Mg: 0, Na: 8, Cl: 43, SO: 75 HCO: whatever
pH: 5.3
