White Labs WLP008 East Coast Ale

Notes
A work in progress. It was originally based upon an old CAP recipe that I found in an article on American Pilseners in Brewing Technique's online archive a few years ago. I've tweaked it a lot in the several versions that I've brewed since then, but I've never gotten the bitterness just right for my tastes. This is the latest version of this old personal favorite.
