Notes

This recipe was taken from the Brewmaster's Bible by Stephen Snyder. It did not quite match the style in raw form and I reduced the amount of hops additions to bring estimated IBU down from about 28.

Found that the mash works better if I heat water to 54 Deg C in the masher. Wait until the HLT boils then add the grains to the water in the masher. Add boiling water afterwards for temperature adjustments. Much more controllable than trying to heat HLT to boiling while mashing at the first 50 deg step.

This is a beer that I sit and crave while at work. Delicious!
