Notes

I haven't made Vacant Gesture in 3-4 years. As I considered it (It's a great beer and really quick to make!) - I remembered that I thought it was good but a bit thin. I would have liked a little more malt backbone and sweetness to counterbalance the IBUs...then I remembered that I have a new malt that I wanted to try - Viking Cookie Malt. So, I subbed it for 20% of the Extra Pale 2 row.
