Mackinac Island Red from Adventures in Homebrewing.

7.2 lbs Pale LME
8 oz Crystal 120 (steeped)
6 oz Amber (steeped)
1 oz Northern Brewer
1 oz Fuggle

40 min left in the boil, then cool and into two LBKs filled 2.5 gallons.

Sample tasted good. From start to finish, including cleanup, took 4.5 hours.

That looks good there RickBeer. Today I'm going to keg up "White IPA" version 2 and possibly start the dry hop on my "Piranha Pale Ale".

finished it. DAMN that felt good!! The docs have me on so many restrictions and the meds make me feel like shit! Any ways the sample is nice and peppery, with a nice belly warming! First fermentation finished at 1.001 from 1.093. Added 1.5 pounds of vanilla sugar and a 2L starter of White Labs High Gravity. So let's see where this beast ends.

All grain recipe I found at my LHBS. Pale & Maris Otter Malt, along with some Crystal 60L and Vienna Malt. Magnum and Cascade whole leaf hops, fermented with Wyeast 1968 London ESB Ale yeast. I'm not familiar with 'Hop Shotz'.

I bottled up an LBK sized batch of 'Old Ale' (adapted from a Jamil recipe in the September issue of BYO magazine) last night; 8.6% ABV. Cheers!
