This recipe is based on the original posting and linked article from Magnus Böner, as well as some interpretation and subsequent discussion in the HBT thread:

https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=598951

6 lbs, 10 oz Pilsen (60.3%)
2 lbs Munich (18.2%)
10 oz Wheat Malt (5.7%)
10 oz Munich Dark (5.7%)
5 oz Caramunich (2.8%)
5 oz Carapils/Dextrine (2.8%)
4 oz Carafa II Special (2.3%)
4 oz Acidulated Malt (2.3%)

Water was built-up RO water using the Düsseldorf profile from Bru'n Water

Mash 152°F for 90 minutes

Boil 90 mins.

0.6 oz Tradition (4.6%aa) @ 60 min for 9 IBUs
3.0 oz Tradition (4.6%aa) whirlpool for 17.8 IBUs
2.0 oz Tettnang (2.0%aa) whirlpool for 5.2 IBUs

Cool to 60°F and pitch WLP036.

After 50% attenuation, ramped the temperature to 66°F until complete.

Cold-crashed, finned with gelatin, and burst-carbed it.

Final end up up about 4.7%ABV.

This is a very smooth, clean, and balanced beer...very close to a lager. I'll be entering it in the local club competition later this month.
