Back when I started brewing I was feeling cocky and brewed a very high gravity beer that ended up being very hard to drink. I'd like to revisit this recipe and I'm hoping with some help from you, to improve upon the drinkability so I'm asking for suggestions. I copied and pasted it from my vintage Promash program below
