Notes

Special Instructions / Notes:
This brew also formed one half of a Parti-Gyle brew - with one mash, runnings mixed to create two worts - this American Brown at 1.065 OG and an English Mild at 1.040 OG. They were boiled simultaneously in two kettles and hopped appropriately.

Awards ------ Won 1st Place Brown Ale Category, 2011 L.A. County Fair
