Discussion
A good recipe/won 2 medals

This is a decent recipe that won 2 3rd place medals for me. I could never hit the target OG, always came up short; 1.030 & 1.036, 2nd time. I'd lile to contact the recipe creator. Comments from judges suggested a need for more spice flavor & carbonation (mousy head not there); otherwise very positive
