Airacobra Lager

I brew something like this alot for a starter for the yeast,then repitch the slurry on a bigger beer or something to reuse the yeast.
The main thing is (for me is to reuse the yeast), but these are great
beers. I love CaraRed, so my "starers amost always have some CaraRed
as the main crystal malt-lagers or ales / thanks Weyermann.
