Munich to an OG of 1.074 (I sometimes throw in 1/2 lb. of crystal 60 for 5 gal. if the mood strikes me). Mash at 150, FWH with 1 oz. Spalt (Mt. Hood is a good alternative), enough Spalt or Mt. Hood at 60 min. to hit 50-55 IBU., flameout addition if you feel like it. Ferment with WY1007 at 60-62F, cold condition for 2 months. YUMMY!
