HBT, help me here. I'm an AG brewer with many ales under my belt. I feel that my technique is good by now and I want to brew a lager. I now have the lagering capability to do so, but I don't know with which to start. I like german and american pilsners, czech pils are ok (I'm learning to like the sulfur) and I'm a huge fan of a good munich dunkel. To be honest, I'm not super familiar with helles, dortmunders, or bocks.
Any advice on where to start, and why? I was thinking German pilsner might be a good jump-off point, but maybe a dunkel is better since I might be able to mask flaws in my first attempt? If you have a favorite recipe, please point me towards it.
