Notes

Steeped crystal malt. Boiled gypsum, hops and malt with 2.5 gallons of water. Added cascade for last 15 minutes then the Irish Moss. Fermented at room temperature. I brewed several batches of this beer in the mid-1990s and all came out well.

I recall this beer reached its peak after around 8 weeks, though it was good after about 4 weeks.
