Notes

The challenge with any light beer is to have a low ABV and lightish palate, while maintaining excellent flavor and aroma:
-Toast the Unmalted grain @ 500F/40min; adds body and depth of flavor.

Soak and cold smoke .25-.5 of barley malt until dry.
This is my standard Mash for Leichtbier (ABV<4.49%):
-Pull next decoction immediately after hitting step temp/setting timer and slowly bring to boil until you hit the start of the boil time. Add water towards the end of decoction boil to limit scorching and replace some of the lost volume.
-Move to lauter/sparge once you hit time on last step. once you -have an inch or two in your kettle, hit the burner and start bringing it up to boil while you finish the sparge.
-With the higher temps, you will only probably get 68-70% attenuation with this yeast.
-Open ferment @68-70F untill Krausen begins to recede, then rack to keg.
-Hold at 70ish F untill pressure stops climbing, plus 3 days, then chill for 1 or 2 (Depends on how fast you need it) and serve.
