Start with 3 gallons distilled water in the brewpot

Raise temperature to 150¡f

Steep roast barley and barley flakes at 150¡f for 30 minutes

Turn off heat (to avoid burning) and add dark malt syrup. Forgot the dark dry malt. Stir to mix.

Turn heat back on and raise to boiling.

Add 1oz. bullion hops at beginning of boil and cover.
Boil for 55min, add Kent Golding hops and wort chiller. Boil for 5 more minutes.

Cool with wort chiller. Minor accident due to hose not being fully inserted... hopefully no hose water went into the wort. When cool, decant into plastic tub.

Top up to 5gal with distilled water.

Pour through filtered funnel into carboy. Stop halfway through and add Yeast Starter 4B. Cap with airlock.

Sampled a bottle. Good but overly nutty and bitter. Hopefully will improve with age like II.
