Notes

Can use Mangrove Jack M44 West Coast yeast - WY1764 is hard to obtain. I adjusted for M44 - I dont like liquid yeasts and I have M44 on hand.

I changed the German Munich for Carastan. The mouthfeel is there, I used some 20L Caramel Vienne and a little melanoiden...it's nice...so close. I'd bump the bittering on this also.

I enjoy Dead Guy every week. For a twist you can also age it on wood chips soaked in Bourbon...I recommend Elijah Craig. There is a commercial version of this - the fabled Dead N Dead, but you would need Rogue Spirits Dead Guy for that one.

This is a Maibock that it powered up with a strong dose of hops...try it, it is easy to drink and share.
