I'm shooting for a lighter lager for the summer months. I'm using the honey to lighten it up while keeping the AC higher. Let me know your thoughts on anything. Particularly, take a look at the hops and yeast. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. Also, too much honey? I'm not necessarily shooting for a honey taste, but wouldn't be upset if it had a little hint of honey flavor, either.
Honey Lager (will come up with a more catchy name when I brew it)
3 1/2 lbs Light DME
2 lbs Honey
3/4 oz Cascade (bittering hops)
1/4 oz Tettnanger (flavor)
Lager Yeast (was just going to use whatever lager yeast my LHBS suggested)
That's it. I want to get it brewing this week since the basement is still relatively cool in the spot I want to store it so I could keep it a lagering temps easier. I'd appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanks
