Awesome! When I first got into homebrewing, this was actually the first homebrew I drank (my friend brewed that exact beer)!

Schweeeeeeet!

This is the only recipe outside of my own that I have every brewed more than once. It is a really great beer. Do you get any haze problems with the beer? I tried CL-50 and 1272 in the beer. I liked both. I've also used Pacman yeast to get a little drier beer for summer drinking.
