Notes

Recipe originally meant to have 12 lbs Maris Otter, however the brew shop was out of Maris Otter as well as Pale Ale Malt.

Used unknown source water. Chemical additions were based on my own water, and I didn't factor in possible differences. Mash pH was high at 6.2. Should have omitted the baking soda.
