Microbrewery! Not to drink so much but to brew up some beer!

Why would you brew if you are not going to drink?

    Brew now... drink later.

    Too much drinking while brewing can spoil the brew!

      Ok. I'll give you that... Hows it taste?

        This is a somewhat malty beer. With an alcohol content of around 8% there is some "burn" as it goes down with light hop notes. If I'm in the mood for hoppier beer of course I modify this recipe and double (or more) the hops going in.

        Another mod to this recipe that I do quite often is to add 1 to 2 oz of Northern Brewer to this. I lack the language to describe what that does to the flavor, but I like it!
