Not to sound harsh but, why? His tasting notes said 'good for my first lager'. Surely you can find a Helles bock recipe on the internet a little more tried and true. People really shouldn't post recipes in this section until they've at least done them several times and attempted to fine tune them, not a one & done that turned out 'pretty good for my first lager'.
