Mash Temp: 152-155 is good OG: first time i did it i had a OG of around 1.044 FG: 1.006 I primed and bottled. After 13 days it was pretty awesome.. This beer, to me, is a good easy way of getting a everyday drinker that the masses will enjoy. Also, the first time i made it, i used 6-row and Safeale-05. They worked out nicely but the 2-row is always a better choice. Yeast was good. I like to play around with the yeast tho. It is a good beer to try stuff on. Also, during your boil, add Irish Moss for clearing and you can even add corn sugar @ 1oz per gallon for extra alcohol and sweetness. Enjoy! i sure do...
Great
