Notes
- use Briess 6-row interpretations of European malts and American interpretations of German hops - either use Victroy malt or toast the Vienna 350 deg F 30 min - use thick high-temp infusion mash to stand up to the thinness of the honey - boil honey for a full 90 min to drive off all the flavors you would ohterwise have to age out - use 1056 Chico yeast - 70 deg F/ 14 days primary/ 14+ days secondary/ 14+ days bottle

Discussion
Too much honey.

This was a little too boozy. It got in the way of the maltiness I really wanted. Boiling the honey the full 90 min. did clean it up well. The honey flavor was there without being over powering. Next time, 1.5 lbs. honey will probably do. The flavor hop addition will have to go. Finally, the ratio of vienna to munich malts should be more like 4# vienna and 3# munich.
