So I want to make a true beer and this is what I’ve come up with:

2 gallons Collected
ABV 5.25% after priming
OG 1.051
Expected FG 1.009
SRM 5.5

Nestle True Life Water
4 lbs. Maris Otter (True UK Malt)
1 pkg. Coopers True Brewers Yeast

I want this beer to be crystal clear, but am concerned about using any Irish moss, gypsum or post fermentation finings because the beer might not be True if I add them. I’ll probably just lager it until it drops True beer clear.

I’d like this beer to dry out so as not to be cloying, but don’t want to use an untrue Saison or Belgian yeast, that’s why the Coopers. I’ll probably mash as low as possible. Do I need to do a protein rest or is a good mouthfeel part of the Trueness?

Any pointers on how to make the beer Truer would be greatly appreciated.
