Pretty much based on the BCS recipe, with a couple mods to account for no special B and low efficiency for bigger beers. Going to use the Rasenmaher lager yeast again.

How did this one turn out? Is lager yeast typically used for Baltics or could we go with 1272?

I was under the impression that lager yeasts are the norm, but 1272 cold with a big starter would be good I think. Haven't tried it yet. Probably should, lol.

Well Mr. X that recipe looks great, it will be one for me to try in January when my cold room is 8 or 10 deg. Curious about the yeast, is it this one... Wyeast 2252-PC Rasenmäher Lager Yeast and where did you get it?

I got it when it was on rotation as a vss.
