80% Pilsner
20% Munich
(you can maybe throw in a few ounces of melanoidin, if you want)
2 oz saaz at 60
1 oz saaz at 20
1 oz saaz at 5
Whirlfloc at 15
Ferment with 34/70 at 52 for 3-4 days. Pull it out of your fridge and let it go ambient for a week to clean up. Keg it an add gelatin, then set it back in your kegerator at the 40 degrees for a couple weeks. Pour off a pint or two when it comes time to serve and you're good to go.
Boom. Simple lager.
