Today I introduced a friend to brewing. It was a batch of this. It was the first good recipe I ever brewed and I liked it a lot. Hence, well, I made it again today. Exact same recipe. I even used old equipment to replicate the original process as well as possible.

Extract brewing does not smell as good.

Tomorrow I'm doing an amber ale:

6.5 # domestic pale malt
2.5 # munich malt
.75 # 80L crystal
.25 # 120L crystal

Mashed @125 for 15, @145 for 30, @ 155 for 45, @ 167 for 5
