This is my second batch I will be brewing with LME. This time I'm gonna keg it and save myself the pain of bottling.
I'm particularly unsure about how much grain to steep and for how long
I'm also unsure about my hop schedule -- does it make sense?
Thanks for your feedback. Here are the details of my recipe I designed using beersmith...
