Please tell me this is an allusion to how I met your mother.

As cheesy as it is I only clicked on this because of the name that I got a chuckle out of. I am too drunk to critique the recipe too much but 4 lbs of 10L seems like A LOT

It is a silly amount, and 1lb of 40L or 60L would've sufficed. But it was my first recipe AND brew, and I was still figuring things out...like where to put the yeast

Leave all cloves out of all phases of the brewing process. They overpower everything. Trust me. Skip the 10 minute hop addition.
