To be clear, this is my FIRST lager. I've been partial mash brewing for 6 years, and want to take the plunge into the crisp, clear world of lagers.
I want my beer to be as clean and crisp as possible, so I'm starting with 6 lbs. Pilsen DME and .5 lbs. aciduated malt (5 gal. batch), and I don't know if I "need" the extra simple sugar to thin it out (it would only be 5 oz. of Dextrose if I decide to go this route).
The yeast I'm using is SafLager W34/70, so if that is a factor on how clean the final product will taste, that would also be helpful information.
Thank you for any first hand experience you have with anything I've asked. I will be brewing in 4 days.
