Notes

5/20/12--first use of Brewers Friend
This version has a different hop list; the actual hops used fit the author's intended type but not amount (I used less). Also, this is a Partial mash instead of extract. Basically, I used half the DME and calculated the gravity points from the missing DME and made it up with an appropriately calculated amount of pale malt. The original recipe mashed a pound of pale malt. The gravity points from this step were also accounted for. I also included a pound of Munich in the mashing to make up for a lower amount of amber DME (which I understand contains Munich). In the end I'm not sure why my predicted/actual gravity came out so much higher. The original recipe used the following for fermentables (in addition to the crystal and molasses):
8lbs Amber LME
1lb briess two row pale

Author's measured extract OG was 1043. Mine measured as Brewer's Friend predicted: 1054.
FG: 1.010

Pitched yeast am of 5/21 at 72F

Transfered to keg June 10

6/14--good carb. nice amount of roasted flavor/aroma. Cinamon and molases are extremely subtle.
