Notes

3G for Lisa.
Note that I used Perle for NorthernBrewer 60m, and mittelfruh for Willamette at 15m. To make the Brew Your Own lifted recipe as it was printed, get NorthernBrewer and Willamette instead of Perle and Mittelfruh. Furthermore, I used LupoMax which has higher AA% so I dropped BYO recommended 1/2oz to 1/4oz, but for the end FlameOut hops, I kept 1oz even with LupoMax.
Water target 5.42pH, Ca:Cl:SO4 of 100:75:150, got 111.3:78.0:144.8.

My #85 was Honkers w 1968, c60/wheat/roast and was too dry/roasty by my notes. Try the BYO lifted recipe
Hops called for are Northern Brewer 60, Cascade/Willamette 15, Cascade 1. Use perle for NBrewer, Mittelfrueh for Willamette, LupoMax Cascade.
