It turned out good completely forgot about this thread. My buddy took the entire batch of me I had two bottles of it and thought it was very close to the real thing. Very happy with the outcome.

Sorry for trolling and reviving this thread.. Just wondering if you could provide any more detail on the process of brewing this recipe. Specifically, I was wondering about Mash temps, mash time, sparge temps, and boil time although I'm assuming it was 60min. Any other info would be helpful thanks!
