The grains were a couple of weeks old for this one, so the flavors may not be as pronounced as in previous batches.

Brought ~2 gallons of water to 160F.  Added grains and allowed to soak for 45 minutes.  Added some water to bring level up to ~2.5 gallons and brought to ~180F.  Removed from heat and added malt extract.  Returned to heat and brought to ~190F.  Started the timer and added the Golding hops.  Added Spalt hops at 15 minutes remaining.  Cooled in a sink of cold water to 101F.  Topped to 5 gallons with cold water.  Pitched at 80F.

Racked.  Very tasty.  It's going to be very good when it's done.  Smooth, rich, wonderful flavor. -[[User:Morrigu|Morrigu]] 19:15, 20 September 2011 (EST)

Bottled.  Nice and rich.  Slightly sour finish, but overall exactly what I was going for. -[[User:Morrigu|Morrigu]] 21:55, 6 October 2011 (EST)

Opened the half-bottle I had.  Nicely carbonated, nice flavor.  I think it's pretty good.  Definitely a good one for the parties.  -[[User:Morrigu|Morrigu]] 21:09, 19 October 2011 (EST)
