Notes
labeled #3
Malt extract is Muntons. Fermented with the house set to 73 deg.
My recommendations for the future:
Ferment a bit cooler
Use a yeast starter
Reduce black patent from 4 oz to 2 or 3 oz
Condition with 1 cup DME

by ec135hEnjoyed this beer, delicious flavor, and aroma. Malts come through as well as chocolate with a touch of sweetness. I substituted Safala 04 yeast for WLP 005.
