Yay or nay?

Can someone please cast their eye over this for me and tell me if this will make a good lager. I've added some aroma additions because i dont want your typical bland commercial lager. However i dont want it too hoppy if that makes sense? I'd appreciate some advice as this will be my first ever lager attempt. I will be using saflager s-23 and will be doing a single infusion mash for simplicity. :D
Cheers and gone,

Hi, what yeast you planning to use? Oh and by the way where did you get the water spreadsheet? Looks like a useful tool.

Thanks for the link. I've not tried that yeast but the recipe looks delicious. So that's a yay from me. Let us know how it turns out.

Haha was the first acid I saw on their website and I had a typical bloke reaction of 'that'll do!'
Probably should have looked into what acids do what flavour wise but I'm hoping it will be alright lol

Lactic acid is fine - pretty sure pro brewers use it (depending of course where they are).

I think I added something like 2.7 ml in total and I've been digging and apparently that's below any taste threshold

I wasn't implying it wasn't fine at all. Just surprised Mozza made it his first choice
