My original recipe only had an OG of 1.060 but was very popular. Since then I have upgraded my equipment and will be brewing this with the same ingredients only more plus a little more hops. Originally I used Northerbrewer hops only as bittering, at 10 AAU pellets. I may change the hops from this recipe when I brew this next.
