Just tapped my best helles to date. Loaded with fresh malt aroma and flavor. The only fault I think its a bit muddy with too many malts, and will redo this without the munich possibly with superpima instead.
Grain bill: 80.8 pils Barke, 9.6% vima, 5.1% muma1 Barke, 2% C25, 2.5% am
WY 2206 pitched and fermented @ 7.2c
Had no idea a few degrees could have such an effect but the cold ferment absolutely made for great foam retention and a huge lacy head. The nutrients had a lot to do with the quality as it allowed me ferment this cold where previously my beers always stalled if I didn't increase the temp near the end. Most never quite attenuated well enough even with bumping the thermostat and made spunding sluggish as best.
All this made possible I believe by a couple grams of nutrients in the boil !!
Thanks to everyone here for all your help and guidance.
