Taste Notes

Very nice. This was based off the National Homebrewers Day recipe at beertown.org. Plan to make this again.

Notes

Steep grains in 4L of 150 o F water for 30 minutes. Remove grains and sparge with 4L of 170o F water. Stir in extract and honey then bring to a boil. Add first hop addition. Boil for 45 minutes then add second hop addition. Boil 15 minutes more, then add to fermenter filled with 3 gallons of cold water (top-up to 5 gallons if necessary). When temperature drops below 76o F, pitch yeast and aerate well. Ferment at ale temperature for two weeks. Bottle with 3/4 cup of corn sugar
