Brewers Notes:

Strain hops out as you add the wart to the fermenter. A primitive type of "hopback". It adds very good nose. Bottle as usual. This beer was "clear" the start with no chill haze. The Morgan's Caramalt really added a sweetness which balanced the hoppiness. Age at least one month, it's a great thirst quencher.
