1960 DDR Beer specifications

There was a request for the full specs of the DDR styles. So here you go.

These are the specs of the finished beers. Unfortunately, they use the annoying Brand scale for the colour. As I don't have a reliable conversion to a better-known colour scale, I've left it in Brand. It still gives a good idea of the relative colours.

It doesn't tell you everything about the beers, just their bare bones. When we look at the ingredients next time, a little more of their character will be revealed. What fun.
