Thanks guys for your support, that means a lot to me.
With the club competition this Saturday, I will ask everyone to write down their tasting notes.
I'm attaching my recipe with my actuals included.
This is my best brew/recipe, this year. I have six more pounds of Palisade hops to finish up. Although I like my Rogue Dead Guy, this one deserves my attention, atm. I also like my Brown and Double Brown recipes too.
So, with my hop spider fiasco, I need to dial this recipe several more times to get my fermenting volumes I desire and possibly lowering the mash temp. (although I like it as it is now and see what my club thinks).
