Tasting Notes
Copper brown color with a beautiful head. Very easy drinking, but lots of flavor
8lbs Pilsner 1.6L
2lb Munich 20L
4oz Chocolate Malt 350L

New Zealand Hallertauer 8.6%AA:
1oz @ 60
.25oz @ 40

Mash temps should be low to increase fermentability. I mash at 150, but lower would be fine too. Even though 1007 is an ale yeast, I find that lagering for several weeks in secondary increases the flavor and really helps clear up the beer.
