Since I cant get it where I live and it seems to get nothing but positive comments/reviews I feel I need to brew this. Ideas on where to start? Anyone here have a recipe?
Copied this from another board. I'll add the link at the end because they did some tweeking and posted comments on it.
What I get from the brewery (Grady Hull, asst brwmstr):
60% Pale malt, then carapils, munich, black and chocolate. Mash at around 154° for 45m.
21 IBU's of Target for 35m, lager yeast fermented around 65ish. He also commented on my recipe assumptions, which gave a few more hints.
I'm now thinking something like:
