Glad I could help - and man, think you have enough malt varities in there? :)
Funny you should mention that, because my grain bills are typically very staright forward. This is the third generation recipe of my schwarzbier, the first two were progressively simpler. I actually have some ideas for re-simplifying this one, we'll see how this version tastes before any tweaking, though.
I am gearing up to do some lagers, and looking for some inspiration. Was this any good? Would you do it again, or make any changes?
