Tasting Notes
A nice balance of the EKG/Fuggles hops flavors, along with biscuit & caramel malts.
12# UK 2 Row (2.1 SRM)
1# Crystal Maris Otter (55 SRM)
.375# Victory Malt (25 SRM)
1.0oz Target hops (10.50% AA) 60 min
1.0oz Fuggles (4.00% AA) 20 min
0.50oz Fuggles (4.10% AA) dry hop 6 days
0.50oz EKG (6.60% AA) dry hop 6 days
1 Whirlfloc Tablet

Mash at 152F with 18.5qt water for 90 minutes.
Sparge at 168F with 3.28 gallons.
(adjust mash method to fit your system, but mash at 152)

Ferment in primary for 3 weeks, then add whole hops for 6-7 days. Do NOT rack to another vessel for dry hopping, do it all in primary.

Bottled approx. 4.5 gallons, primed with 3.375oz of Dememera sugar. Let bottle condition for 3 weeks at 70F+ before chilling and enjoying.

Hop flavors/aromas more prominent when young, but mellows a bit with aging. VERY tasty with good malt character and flavors. A winning combination and is on the 'brew again' list. Could be my house pale ale. At ~6.5% ABV, it's a good drinking beverage that refreshes and calms at the same time. Joy in a glass. :rockin::drunk:
 
Ummmm, nope...
