So, my buddy is an avid player of the Sci-Fi MMORPG EVE Online. He's also an avid Reddit reader. There is a corporation (group of players in game) run by a bunch of reddit folks called Dreddit. As part of the application process for joining the group he has to do an 'Arts and Crafts' submission related to the corporation. He asked me if I'd help him brew a beer for it. I said sure, and worked out a recipe for him. I give you 'Dreddit Dark'. I wanted to basically do a Munich Dunkel without taking the time to make a lager. So I'll be mashing low to make the beer more dry and pitching US-05 at a low temp to limit/eliminate ester production. We'll be brewing it this weekend. If this turns out well it'll be another in the recipe box.
