Shaketoberfest

This is an update of a recipe I have used for years. This is the first time I have made any changes. I used amber in place of light DME. Also changed to Hallertauer for aroma from Tettnanger. Also starting using whole hops a little while ago.. Try it you can really tast and smell the diff.
