Good Morning Ladies and Gents,
I'd love to have some feedback regarding the following recipe. This is a copypasta from a BeerSmith HTML file, so the formatting of the text might be funky even though I've tried to adjust it.
What I'm going for is a full bodied, roasty, spicy (I may add some peppers to this), hoppy Cascadian Dark / American Black Ale.
I haven't written too many recipes yet, so any and all suggestions and constructive criticism would be great and I would be most appreciative! Thank you in advance!
