Comments:
Just managed to hit the low end of my target SG.
I will never, ever use hop pellets again, they are the work of the devil.
Took a long time to finish, and the final gravity is a bit on the high side.
4/9/2003- First tasting is a good one! Strong hop aroma, but smooth
going down. Rather on the low side as far as alcohol is concerned. A "barley wine lite".
Grade: B+
