Transfered to secondary on Wednesday June 18, 2008. S.G. was at 1.020 and it tasted oh so yummy. Will be ready for the keg in just a few days.
A little off...

I must admit that the recipe is a little off. I tweeked a recipe that I got out of my father-in-law's brew notebook, hence the name. It may not be to standard but it tastes good! I am going to get some Newcastle and try them together. I will report back what the differences are.
Wow

I think you might have gone alittle overboard on the fermentables. This one will be a sipper. I wouldn't be suprised if you don't hit your FG. That yeast does't take high levels of alcohol well. Is there any reason you steeped your specialty grains for so long? Just curious. I'm thinking this one would be best bottled and brought out this fall.
Best beer I have made

I would have to say this is the best beer I have ever made. It is no way a NCBA but its definatly an old ale. Its strong, malty, and sweet with a decent hop character and nose. I could drink this beer every day. This is certainly my kind of beer. I have always steeped my specialty grains in my extract brews for that long. It give the enzymes a chance to do their thing. All and all a great beer. Next time it will be all grain but it will be in my house 365. Also according to their website WYeast 1098 will take up to 10% abv.
