Brewers Notes:

After Fermentation Subsides Transfer To 2nd Fermenter And Dry Hop 1oz. Cascade Hops Into Secondary. Hold In Secondary For 7 Days, Keg Or Bottle As Normal.(I Used Amber DME To Bottle As It Gives A Nice Creamy Head As Opposed To Corn Sugar)

The Resulting Beer Was Hard To Classify As It Had The Color And Smoothe Maltiness Of A Brown Ale With The Aroma And Great Hoppiness Of A IPA, Thus, The Name Skidmark India Brown Ale.
It Was A Quick Fermenter, And Tasted Great After 2 Weeks In Bottles. It Did Not Last Long As My Friends Drank This One Up.
