Is that the one originally linked to at the beginning of this thread? I would like to order one ASAP. Thanks!

Am I missing something? The recipe says 1.5 oz of Fuggles pellets in the recipe, yet it says to only add 0.5 oz Fuggles with one minute to go in boil. Where do the other 1.0 oz of Fuggles go? I assume they meant to say add the 1.5 oz Fuggles at one minute to go in the boil, not 0.5 oz.
