Notes

Russian River's recipe (via MoreBeer) calls for 13 pounds of 2-Row, but my equipment only needs 11.5 pounds.

Corn Sugar added at 10 minutes remaining.

Slightly different version - also from Vinnie - via AHA: https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/russian-river-pliny-the-elder-clone/
