Notes

I made this twice. The first time it was beyond belief. Clear. Smelled great. Fantastic. Maybe the best beer I ever tasted. My beer drinking buddies did not request it again but heck on them. I loved it.

The second time it was not very good. Hazy. Muddy tasting. Not sure what happened there.
