Used a pinch of irish moss, and gelatin finnings to clarify. Kegged and force carbonated. At first the smoke may seem overpowering, but it mellows with age. Wait a month or two to serve to friends.

I have been looking forward to trying this recipe. I just had to build my mash tun. I finished the recipe about two months ago. I cracked open a bottle and it was exactly what I was expecting. I only changed one thing with the recipe. I only had one ounce of Fuggles so I added an ounce of Willamette to make up the difference. I put in the Fuggles at the start of boil and the Willamette at 10 minutes. I used a prior slurry of S-05 and kept it in the primary for 10 days at 68 degrees. I then racked it to a secondary for 21 days at 68 degrees. I bottled it with 1/2 cup priming sugar. I let the bottles condition for 5 weeks. I opened one up and like I mentioned earlier, it was exactly what I was expecting. Thanks for a great recipe.
