I was planning a version of Ken's Bordertown Dark Lager... Then I ran out of time, kicked a keg and have holiday gatherings coming up so I decided I will slip this in on Sunday:

 

18 # CMC Pale Ale Malt

1 # British C75

 

2 oz Challenger 7.0% AA @ 60 min

1 oz Northdown 9.7% AA @15 min

2 oz EKG 5.8%AA @ 5 min

 

S-04 to Ferment

 

Mash at 150dF

HAHA... I should post some numbers on this thing:

 

12 gallons

TG 1.043

IBU 37

[Steve Urquell]

Looks good. Should be a nice easy drinker.

This guy turned out tasty.  I had 2 kegs of it for our family Chirstmas party and the first blew in no time and the second I ended up with about half left.  Lucky for me!! 

 

 

I know it's not a proper glass but I like them.  Nice russet/dark amber color from the 75L English Crystal.

 

 

Ken Lenard Clear!!!!  Just  whirfloc, S04 and some cold time, no gel, no polyclar.. .. not that much really.  I think it's only been in the keg about 3 weeks now.

That looks like a real nice session beer.

Yep, looks nice. Beer sitting cold in the frozen tundra will be clear like that!
