Notes

Recipe is based on extract recipe obtained from Reddit as well as the description from Mother Earth's website. Note that for this 1 gallon batch. I used about 3/4 of a vanilla bean and found it could've used more. Vanilla bean was split, scrapped, chopped, and all tossed right into the primary (or using a hop bag if desired).

Personal Touches:
1) Real recipe uses Warrior hops - using Glacier to lighten cohumulone.
2) Mother Earth states 18 IBU, 6.0 SRM, and 5.0 ABV (1.048 OG & 1.011 FG). Slight variations to this are present in this recipe.
3) This recipe pushes for slightly more body than the 'Medium Body' advertised. This is done via higher mash temperature and SO4/Cl ratio of less than 1.
