Notes

This Briess special roast supposed to have a soughdough twang so putting it to the test! I am also coincidentally streamlining my inventory of stuff that does not taste anything like Fullers.

Quoting morebeer - "Use it at around 10% of your recipe to get the signature Sourdough flavor that many brewers appreciate "

I wanted to make a tocobaga clone but didn't quite have all the hops required.

Note: 5 days in keg and tried sample. melanoidin malt probably a little heavy. Was expecting bigger hop presence, but maltiness is overpowering

Update: A day or two later it really rounded out. i might do this recipe again.
