Notes

When your friend jokes that they'll buy your beer for $1, you create a recipe for cheap beer.

Taking the opportunity to try a new yeast and finishing hop, and squeezing it into the Bitter category. Which should be broad enough for any drinkable beer, even if this turns out too fruity to enter in a competition.
