Brewers Notes:
The IPA extract will provide the bitterness thus eliminating the need for a long boil. boil the grain water and flavor hops for fifteen minutes, take off stove, add extracts, cool, top off to 5 gallons pitch. It's that easy, primarry for 1 week, secondary for 2 weeks, prime with 1/2 cup of honey. this recipe really tastes like the real thing. The bitternes is a little high at first but after two weeks in the bottle mellows out real well.
