Brewer's Notes
The recipe database is missing the tin of Coopers Bavarian Lager.
Bring cold water and Choc Grain up to 65-70C over 30min period, then steep for 30min. strain and boil for 30min with DDME and half DLME, 10g saaz @15min, 15g saaz @0. Then add to tin of Coopers Bavarian Lager and all other ingredients
Great spring/autum lager. The warmth of the alcohol and choc grain gives it some character. The saaz freshens it up and gives it the nice euro lager taste. I would sub the maltodex for some crystal and add 100g carapils. I got a great head on this anyway.
Got some good reviews at the 2007 Vic xmas caseswap for those who tried it (drank on the day, not as part of the actual caseswap).
