Notes

This is my take on a recipe from "The Homebrewer's Recipe Guide" - an excellent book. I changed the yeast to make it a little fruitier, and also I bottled with about one pound of dry extra light malt extract instead of corn sugar, to have a nice fine head on it. Remember to make a starter culture before hand.

On execution.. 1 lb of malt extract is way too much for priming. It's going to take a while to age this extra malty flavor out, if it ever will age out. Stick with about 1.25 cups.
