Eric’s Winning Recipe is below.

Description:
An insubordinate pale lager that’s too easy to brew and even easier to drink. The following recipe is intended to net 5.5 gallons into the fermenter at ~1.050 OG
Partial Mash with carbon-filtered water at 150 degrees
Malt:
2 lb Weyermann Bohemian Pils
8 oz Briess Carapils
6 oz Avangard Dark Munich
1/2 tsp Lactic Acid
6# Pils LME in RO water for remainder of boil volume (then top up with RO post boil to total volume), add 1 tsp CaCl to boil
Boiled for 60 Minutes, then cooled to 65 Degrees
Hops:

1.5 oz homegrown Cascade (maybe less if commercial) at 60 min
1 oz German Hersbrucker (2% alpha) at 5 min

Yeast:
1 packet* Saflager 34/70, rehydrated

Fermented at ambient temperature (mid 60s)*. When the gravity stabilized, ½ tsp rehydrated gelatin added a couple days prior to kegging. Stored in fridge and carbonated at set-and-forget psi for a few weeks before serving.     
*= Yep, you heard me right.
