Notes

On some advice from the owner at Brew Depot, I'm adding 1 lb of Munich Light to give some more mouth feel and to raise the OG. I've also decided to add 1 lb of brown sugar to further raise the OG. I want an ABV above 4.0!

Also note that the original recipe called for Nottings something-or-other, but I'm using Wyeast 1318 (London Ale III); the OR also called for 2 oz of Fuggles, but I remember not liking Fuggles so I'm using Willamette and East Kent Goldings instead.
