Notes

This beer has been a hit and multiple medal winner for 5 years now. 3 gold medals in 3 entries in the Slurp and Burp "Northwest Style" ale specialty category. Dozens of brewers at Homebrewtalk have loved it.

A great, malty and hoppy beer. Easily tweaked recipe for your hop preferences. This is the original, medal winning recipe.

SRM between 15 and 18 depending on grains used and how hard and long the boil is. Ends up a beautiful deep red color.

I now do 1 oz each of the dry hops.
