Brewers Notes:

Where's the crystal you say? I took a gallon of the first runnings and boiled it down to about a quart. Adds great color though this time I didn't get much caramel flavor. Judges didn't seem to mind.

What would I do differently?
Maybe substitute regular pale malt for the Briess 2-row and hope for just a tad more malty flavor.
Maybe boil down 1.5 gallons of the first runnings and hope for just a tad bit of caramel flavor.
