Directions

Fermentation
notes
I do not use a secondary fermenter.  I fermented in the primary at around 62-65F for 20 days.  I then used 3.2 ounces of priming sugar for the 4.75 gallons of beer.

Tasting
notes
I get a nice malty, caramelly aroma.  I taste a caramel-maltiness, with toasted bread and nuttiness as well.  Decent off-white head, with low retention.
