Today's recipe is a Munich Helles that I'm fermenting with - yes you guessed it - Wyeast 1968. I haven't bought yeast in forever. I'm shooting for a nice malty taste with just a hint of fruit - I'm adding lactic acid(instead of my usual phosphoric) to get that slight helles twang. In my mind, this recipes bridges the gap between a helles and a mild. Will bore you guys with the results later....

Guess what guys - my wife brewed most of this beer. She asked if she could learn what I do so we brewed it together. It's kinda nice having a grunt - lol ;)
