Glad it worked out for you.

Another winner BM. I just poured the first pint from a batch I brewed about a month ago. Tastes great for breakfast. This recipe now has a place alongside your Octoberfast in my annual brew schedule. Thanks again

Willamette and Cascade work great together. I would pitch US-56 (s-05) or any "california ale" yeast.

Agreed!.... jppostKW..... I would ditch the black patent, go with .5 lbs of Chocolate and a 1 lb of light chocolate. I would start with .75 lbs of crystal 120. Again, I am only going off of my own experiences, not specifically with the Left Hand. Your gravities will only change a...
