Bierstadt is pure inspiration.  And I MUST get my hands around a mug of Urban's Zwickle Helles.  And also Bierstadt's Helles.

Yes you do. I really wish they distributed near me. I've asked around and no one is selling it!

My second to next batch is going to be a Helles.  Any good recipe ideas are welcome

I think Ken mentioned 88% pils, 12% vienna... I think??  and hopped to about 22 IBU with something noble.

I think the LoDo peeps recommend 95/5 or 92/8 Pilsner to Carahell.  One hope addition at 60 to get to the IBU you want.

Thanks fellas, I know it's about as simple as it gets.  I think the hard part will be nailing just the right amount of maltiness w/o going over the top.
