Notes

A simple little extract English Old Ale recipe. Were I to do it again, I would substitute Target for the Styrian and Fuggle as far as bittering, just to get the IBUs up a bit higher. I might also add molasses or treacle instead of a pound or so of the light extract. As it was, I bottled using dark brown sugar instead of corn sugar. It's still aging so I haven't had a chance to taste it yet, but I'm looking forward to it!
