Notes
I have been wanting to try this with WLP080, but my LHBS doesn't carry it because he doesn't like how it smells.

The beer in the picture was from my first batch and was a little darker due to it being the first time I ever did an All Grain beer and had terrible efficiency. I ended up having to add some DME, which darkened it up a bit -- Hence the name, First Wort Problems. Subsequent batches have been a bit lighter.

OG is based on efficiency of 75%.
