Notes:

This recipe is partial mash only because I do not have the capacity to mash sufficient grain for 10 gallons (I really need to get a 10 gallon beverage cooler).

  • this beer is a little hoppier than I would have liked - very good, but I was shooting for something with a broad appeal among folks whose taste runs to something less flavorful.  Still, it seems a very nice beer.
