    Much appreciate any help in designing for the style. Thanks!

    First will recommend Brewing Classic Styles.

    Definitely not "traditional" but tried a clone of Great Lakes Brewing Dortmunder Gold several years ago. Here is what I came up:

    Was definitely a crowd pleaser.
    Boost sulfate levels

    The BCS recipe is way too malty for a dort. It'll make a really tasty (smallish) maibock though.

    I tried BCS and I underpitched. I had to finish it up with some US 05. It came out good. I'd try to mash longer and at a low temp next time to help dry it out, but I think you've got a lot of German lagers that all kind of blend together here and I wouldn't mind drinking any one of them.
