Notes
Heinken is a popular international pale lager that has been brewed since 1872.
The base pilsner malt should preferably be a German brand, like Weyermann.
There are Danish lager liquid yeast varieties, although any clean fermenting lager yeast will work.
Green bottles are more likely to have skunk off-flavor.
