Notes

My first brewing trials were at best uninformed at worst misguided. The advice from my LHBS wasn't enough for a clear explaination until, the suggestion of Dave Lines' books published by AW. With these (the big book of beer & brewing beers like those you buy) in hand the procedure became understandable and process replicable.

This was a while ago in the mid-80's when home brewing information, ingredients, recipes, equipment, and knowledgble dialogue not as simple to find as it can be today. My interest piqued I continued to seek information and put what I learned into practice learning to brew beer. It was a lot of fun to make and enjoy a homebrewed beer. It still is!

Thanks for the help Dave. This batch is for the memory of you and your efforts are remembered and appreciated.
Thanks for the learning experience.
Cheers.
