This is possibly the best beer I have brewed. It is Brau Kaisers classic Alt recipe. I am not claiming it is my own recipe.

The water adjustments are my own personal, but you should aim for this - (58mg/L Ca; 3mg/L Mg; 32mg/L Na; 10mg/L SO4; 21mg/L Cl; 150mg/L HCO3).

protein rest : 54 *C (131 *F) for 20 min
saccrification rest : 65.5 *C (150 *F) for 45 min; water/grist ratio 3.5 - 4.0 l/kg (1.75 - 2 qt/lb)
mash-out : 76 *C (169 *F)

I fermented at 64F.

Alts typically benefit from at least a few weeks cold conditioning, but I found this recipe pretty much good to go as soon as I had cold crashed, fined and carbed it.
