This sounds great. I'm going to give it a try in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the recipe.

BM, I don't have the ability to keg yet. What would you recommend for a fermenting schedule for bottling?

good questino doc. i was also wondering this....

Brewing again on Saturday. Thanks for all of the help magnj!

They are legit. The kegs were decommissioned....My dad had a friend that worked for Pabst a long time ago...before they started transfering to Miller Brewing Co. They have been sitting in the garage forever.
