Notes
It turned out as a great steam comparable to anchor steam. A little more bitter, with no sweet notes. Color, dead on, and overall taste great. I would change the hops schedule and add 1 oz N. Brew for 60 then 1 oz. for 30. Should help with the bitterness, but I like it as is. Also, I steeped the Goldings whole hops in a muslin bag.

I fermented this right at 70 the whole time. Saaz might be good, worth a try!
