Had a smooth brew session. Pitched yeast given to me from the brewery that invented this beer and was kind enough to share the recipe. Thanks Jeff! OG = 1.051 #66

Kegged & carbed it tonight. Tasted great; nice American hop aroma and flavor, medium bitterness, subtle malt background. Tastes a lot like the original beer I was cloning. I'll have to go out and get a growler of it so I can taste them side by side. OG = 1.051 FG = 1.007 ADF = 86% ABV = 5.8% Eff = 81%
