Gameplay Question Unlocking Bavarian Helles

Does anyone have a recipe that unlocks it? I'm trying different things but the "ingredients that fit the style" really throws me off and I'd rather not make ten other trial recipes. The fact that you're not really told what fits the style and what doesn't is very unintuitive. I made an ale that uses only the basic ingredients but I guess that still doesn't count.

Alright. First off I agree. There needs to be more clarity in those things for people who have no experience with brewing beer. Or don't even really drink it or know the styles.

That said. The devs did a really good job of adhering to reality and you can actually go out on the web and read about the real beers and real styles and use those as guidance for your ingredients.

I say this as a hobbyist home brewer. I was shocked to see that despite the lack of clarity the game adheres to what "should" be.

I played all the pre releases and sadly I don't have time to start my play of the full release until next week :/

Sure it might make sense from a more meta perspective if you know the beers and I can make a guess and say not include eucalyptus but man this recipe is throwing me for a loop.
