I named the munich lager i brewed "drunkel dunkel"

Most definitely kegging equipment. Hoping to find 4 kegs with all hoses and co2 tanks.

I find a recipe that i want to try and i will manipulate almost every aspect of that recipe until its a completely different beer. I dont think i have followed any recipe as written.
