Hey everyone, I'm a sort of beginner home brewer here but have been reading about it for a while and finally decided to actually do it seriously. This is my first all-grain batch because it just seemed like extracts was cheating. Well anyway on to the important stuff, my dad is coming down to visit me in May and I figured I'd make him a batch of beer that we can bring down to the beach and . I used Beersmith 2 and the adaptation of someones recipe that I found on here with a few changes(if I find out who I'll edit with the credits).
In case you didn't want to read all that, my question is how does this look so far? Anything I should cut back on/add more of? Any other ideas?
Thanks for reading.
