Hacker Pschorr Kellerbier - help please!

[lael]

Hi,

I've got some friends that love this beer - so I'd like to make it for them. Any suggestions as for a recipe for something close?

I've read:

http://aussiehomebrewer.com/topic/22433-kellerbier/?hl=kellerbier

kook mentioned a recipe of about 62.5% pils, 25% vienna, 12.5% munich malt, mild hops - gen. rec. hallertauer? / about 30IBU - 36IBUs. Another post mentioned appx 1050 OG.

The beer is slightly sweet to me - so thinking some crystal / caramunich.

Yeast - I'm not sure about - some talk about the style needing a lager yeast - but is fruitiness possible with a lager yeast? and they are normally served cloudy with yeast... any recommendations on strain and temps?

Thanks!
