The 1 lb DME was not part of the original recipe, but I drew only 4 gallons of wort after boiling/cooling. Boiled the DME in 1 gallon of water for 20 minutes, then added it to the wort prior to pitching yeast.

I would brew this again. I kegged it and lagered it for about 6 weeks, and that was not long enough. It still tasted a bit "green" when I tapped the keg, but by the end, one month later, it was GREAT!
