Vienna Lager

Since I had room in my fermentation chamber I decided to brew another lager so that I could lager them both as the same time.  I brewed this beer two years ago and it was really tasty, very clean, with a nice malt character.  Last time fermentation took 3 days to start so I made a 1.5 L starter and things were kicking off by the next morning.  This was another after work brew and went flawlessly, hitting all of my numbers and getting 81% efficiency.  I used my single kettle e-BIAB setup.  I love brewing with a single vessel system, it is just so easy.  I stepped the mash from 120>137>152.
