As you can see this is a very slightly hopped recipe; the end result is wonderfully malty.

I kegged this and carbed it at 12psi (55 deg) and after 2 weeks it is perfect; one of the best beers I have made to date.

Hi,

I know this is an old thread, but I just found this recipe, looks pretty good!
Quick question though...as of right now, I only have 1 secondary, so as to not tie it up for months, could this just be in the secondary for a few weeks and then finish conditioning in bottles??
And on that note, I am not at a kegging point yet either (no room to keep kegs or have a keggerator, maybe in my next life!) so would I need to add a sugar to the bottles for carbonation?
Thanks!
