6 lbs blackstrap molasses 3 lbs biscuit malt ( mashed ) 2 oz hallertau pellet hops 50 min 1 oz tettnanger u.s. 15 min 1 oz fuggle u.s. 10 min

6 lbs pilsner extract 3 lbs munich malt ( mashed ) 2.5 lbs Vienna 3.1 L (mashed amber candi sugar .5 lbs 2 oz Amarillo pellet hop 45 min 1.50 oz styrian golding pellet 15 min 1.50 oz hallertau aroma pellet 10 min chill wort and pitch wyeast 3724...

I found you leaning out of an open window you laughed our fingers clenched to perfect far too careless I couldn't help myself I took you

wow! thanx for all the feedback. money is not an issue. I make more than the average income. In reading your comments I think the bigger issue is the time that I put into my beers.
