Notes

Made a few modifications from the American Brewers Association clone recipe of Dead Guy Ale. Biggest change is the yeast - packman yeast is very difficult to obtain. I made a mix of White Labs Marzen Yeast (a bit old and accidentally frozen) and a fresh White Labs San Francisco Yeast.

Keeping at room temperature until fermentation is visible (2-3 days) and then putting in shed at 50˚ for remainder of fermentation.
