I wish I could say it was something witty and smart, but it's the first alt I've made at my new house in El Dorado Hills. It helps me keep my recipes straight in my database. I'm really looking forward to this one though, It's been too long since I've had an alt on tap.

I'll PM you my contact info. The alt will be in the keg but not conditioned by then. I should have 5 or 6 of my nine taps full though and ready to serve...

Chris: At what point in the boil do you add the Liberty? I don't see any times there. Nice looking recipe... Simplicity is good!

The liberty was my 30 minute addition, I also threw in 2 ozs of carafa 2. I didn't have the option to edit once I remembered. That much flavor hop is gonna give me a little more flavor than is to my understanding of the style, but that's what I prefer. I am a firm believer in simplicity in my beers, I tend to like no more than 4 malts in any given beer. Mine always seem to get the flavors muddled past that. Thanks Ken.

Cheers Chris. I have some saved 1007 from a Northern German Alt and I may give this one a spin... I'm a sucker for just about anything German in origin.

I've noticed, and it's something you and I have in common. I love this time of year because my fermentation chambers will hold 50 in a heartbeat and I only have to change my ice like once every five days. Summer time i have a hard time keeping the beer at 62. Lagers and kolsch here I come. I'm gonna make a dusseldorf with the yeast cake of this one. I really need to get a dedicated fridge so I can lager in the summer too.
