General Information

Method:	All Grain

Method:

All Grain

Roast 4 lbs of Amer. 2-row @ 350 for 25 minutes to create Amber malt.

Mash at 154

Ferment at 66 F

Using yeast cultured from a 'can conditioned' Fat Tire can. Original recipe calls for Northern Brewer & Willamette hops.

Had a strange astringent flavor in the fermenter but it mellowed out once in the keg. Overall a very close approximation to the real thing, although I'm hoping to get some more hop aroma with some dry hops.
