JR's CAP with Calilfornia Lager Yeast
Following Jeff Renner's original essay and posts on HBD for Classic American Pilsner. I'm using Wyeast California Lager # 2112 for the first time with this recipe, hoping for some latitude with lagering at the random winter temperatures in my garage. Weyerman's Floor Malted Bohemian Pilsner and Czech Saaz hops used for flavor and dry hopping.
