I’ve been wanting to brew this beer for a long time now but just have never gotten around to it. It’s just a real easy drinker and I have a full pipeline so I figured a lager would be the way to go so it can sit around for a while in the cooler until later spring time for consumption. It’s outside boiling as I type.

I got this recipe from BYO a while back, it was supposed to be a different bittering hop but I had Nugget here so I just subbed that in to the correct IBUs. Also wondering about dry hopping: I don’t remember the amounts that were listed, just that it was cascade and hallertauer, is an ounce each overkill for a lager do you think? It does have a pretty nice smell to it. Maybe I’ll have to pick some up to investigate.
