another great brew that uses great american hops.
I think I'll try this next time... I bet it is malty, because you have extra crystals for a 3.5 gallon batch.. you also mash at higher temp.... I think this is good for s05 as it usually has great attenuation.

I highly recommend it. Definitely my best brew to date, and my own recipe!
