Thought i would have a crack at a Dark Lager which i have drunk very little of to be honest. I have a fridge now but will probably just use that for cold crashing and ferment at 12c in garage then bottle
5.2kg UK Lager Malt 86%
250g Melanoidin 4.1%
200g Midnight Wheat 3.3%
200g Carafa 3 3.3%
200g Roast Barley cold steeped 3.3%
WLP830 yeast
Is the Melanoidin worth using or should i save that for a lighter beer. Aiming for a malty clean beer with a hint of roastiness.
For hops i have Saaz, Hallertau and some spalt. Never used Spalt before and cant remember why i bought it now. Also have loads of American hops so if its not got enough flavour i guess i can always add a hop tea and dry hop.
Was thinking 60,15 and flameout additions.
Suggestions most welcome. :)
