I'm looking to brew a traditional Dusseldorf altbier. The problem is, I've never had one, so I don't know even where to start with a recipe. A collegue's wife is from Dusseldorf and the two of them are unable to find a traditional Dusseldorf altbier here. They've tried the American versions that call themselves altbiers, but have not been impressed.
So, I'd like to surprise them with something. I know the basics of what makes an altbier, just not sure about the specifics. Any help? (I'm set up for partial mashes, but I can convert AG)
