Brewers Notes:

I think that this is going to be my house lager. It's very smooth and has a nice malt and hop flavor. I originally made a 5 gallon batch of this at 1080 strength, but screwed up on my water amounts this time and ended up with an extra 1 1/4 gallon of 1064 beer on this one. It's much better than the stronger version. Next time I will probably ramp back on the bittering hops just a little, in order to get more balance due to the lower gravity. The longer that you lager this, the better it gets!
