Notes

This was a club group brew that turned out amazing. Some how we over shot our SG by 20 points. I updated the recipe to reflect that. Here is a link to the 5 gallon batch. Although not an exact clone, it is pretty close. http://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/139622/colon-emergency-5-gallon
