I'm trying to duplicate my favorite brew, Lienenkugel's Creamy Dark. I found a good start for a recipe (I think) but I want to get as close to accurate as possible, specifically with the yeast strain. The recipe says "any neutral lager strain" will suffice, but I want it close. I ran across a chart a while back that compared strains, and now I can't find it.
More info on the beer can be found at the Leinies site. Here is what I've got so far. Any suggestions/help?
