Notes

Stove-top brewing with 3.5 gal boil volume.
40 min steep between 130 - 155 F.
Added DME, rock sugar and corn sugar at beginning.
Added Pilsen LME late at 30min.
Hop schedule above.
Total boil 1 hour.
Chill in ice bath in utility sink.
Brought to volume in 6 gal fermenter with blow off tube.
Triple pitched yeast, which was expired/free from brew shop.
Pitched too cool at 64F, but was fermenting within 2 days.
13days in primary
11days in secondary
Bottled with 5oz corn sugar.

After a month, an awesome beer. Good reviews from friends, and that's all the matters.
