I would just like to say that this beer turned out much better thanks to tips I recieved here. This is my latest pale ale. It slowed fermentation when it hit 1.020 and I thought it was going to be overly malty. I let it sit in primary for about 3 weeks and then a 2 week secondary. Its been bottled for about 9 days so this is my first sampling. It is by far the best beer I have ever made.
