Notes

This recipe started out as an extract brew we did a year ago. It was a big hit with the friends as it was a really clean beer. We decided to convert it over to an all-grain form for our first attempt at the full brew process (hence the lower efficiency).

Fermented for two weeks at 68 deg F. Transferred to keg and force carbonated at 20 psi for three days.

Little light on the palate, but a very drinkable beer in the end.
