Mash Profile
Mash Name: Single Infusion, Medium Body, Batch Sparge
Mash In Add 14.69 qt of water at 165.9 F 154.0 F 60 m
Sparge with 6.92 gal of water @ 168.0
Notes: This beer was one of the most excellent beers I've ever made. People who've been to Germany or lived in Germany have thought this is the closest reproduction to a German beer they've ever found in the US. It was mighty tasty and barely lasted 2 weeks in the keg. We alternate this and Altbier #1 (also in recipe database) as a regular house beer.
