Magic Carpet Ride, Maibock Recipe

Starting Fermentation, this is at 12 hours after pitching
Knowing this recipe is about 3 months late for the traditional lagers brewing period is fine with me due to San Diego's late starting winter weather.  This beer should be ready around Christmas which is great timing with extra family coming into town.

Having my Lagering fridge is operation for about 4 months and only one lager brewed I am a little mad at myself.  But with it also acting as a beer storage area it is filling up quick.  (On a side note I asked about acquiring another stand up fridge and got the death look from my wife.  Which would mean 5 fridges in my 1,200 sf condo)  But back to the recipe.  I wanted to say as close to style as I could on this Mailbock recipe.  Combining winning recipes from HomeBrewTalk and Jamil's Brewing Classic Styles Book I came up with this.
