Notes

Also changed to using 34/70 for yeast and replaced maris otter with american 2row.

Changed hops schedule because I read that is how they do it at Anchor.

Also changed from 60 to 80 on the crystal.

Added a half ounce dry hop after fermentation because I have read many people who have toured brewery and Anchor says they dry hop with Northern Brewer.
