Notes

The BBFKL did a really nice job on this beer. I fermented at 60ºF under 15 PSI. I felt it was just a touch on the sweet side so adding 5 IBU to balance that out, but to be. honest this beer disappeared faster than any other beer I've ever made. Upped the bittering slightly and also a little bit more sulphate. Still not 1:1, but closer.

First time I made this I did a triple decoction as the recipe called for. It was a very nice beer, but a ton of effort. Gonna emulate that with some melanoidin and call it a day this time.

Also, using Bootleg Biology's Frakonian Keller Lager Beta culture from August 2022.

Previously used a double pitch of WLP920 https://www.whitelabs.com/yeast-single?id=232&type=YEAST&style_type=2

Most of the links that were in the original recipe don't lead to their original pages.
