I was wondering if anyone had any advice or alterations to the below recipe.

2.22 kg Gladfield Pilsner Malt (3.8 EBC)
1.64 kg Gladfield Vienna Malt (6.8 EBC)
1.15 kg Gladfield Aurora Malt (58.0 EBC)
541.6 g Gladfield Red Back Malt (65.0 EBC)
328.3 g Gladfield Shepherds Delight Malt (300.0 EBC)

40.0 g Tettnang (Tettnang Tettnager) [4.0%] - Boil 60 min
20.0 g Tettnang (Tettnang Tettnager) [4.0%] - Boil 15 min

1 pkgs Bohemian Lager (Mangrove Jack's #M84)

Notes
Add Shepherds delight with 10mins mash remaining.


(Do I need 1 or 2 packs of yeast?)


Thinking about brewing on the long weekend as I have a gap where I can afford to dedicate a fridge to a lager for 6 or more weeks, and I’ve got a bunch of Red Back and Shepherds Delight to use up.

I’m actually not normally a big lager fan (although I quite like Wayward's Fusami Victory) but I want to have a try at a lager and see if home made is better.

This was initially going to be a Vienna Lager but now it isn’t according to BeerSmith. I’m ok with it not being a comp beer. Just want something drinkable for summer.

Making with a Robobrew and fermentasaurus w/ pressure kit. Kegging after.
 
Sounds pretty good. So your plan on doing an actual lager?
I get so lazy lately and go for either K97 or M54

Been thinking about doing a red lager myself lately.
 
It’s done and in the fermentasaurus as of Monday. Not much activity though from the yeast (M84 @ 7° rising to 11).

Going out of town for a couple of weeks so thought a lager was good timing. Already have 2 full kegs of other stuff anyhow.
 
Not sure how red vs brown it will be. Plenty of colour though.
