Notes

This is an attempted clone of Whistler Brewing Companies Bear Paw Honey Lager my brother had when he was up there. Based on what he said, this recipe gets the color and clarity exactly and the flavor is pretty close.

My OG ended up being 1.049 after adding the honey during the boil and the extra .75 pound in the fermenter should raise it by a few points.

I added the honey straight onto the krausen during day 6 of fermentation and let it ride for 5 more after that.

Used 2 tbsp of biofine in the keg.
