Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster

I brewed this recipe in my early stages of brewing. It will take a LONG TIME to condition, so put it back and be ready to reap the rewards!

Yeast: Pitched 1.5 pkg. of Safale 05. Safale didn't like that high gravity, so after 24 hrs repitched 1 pkg. of Nottingham. Added 1/2 pkg of Safale05 at secondary.All were rehydrated before pitching.

Tasting: This is a beer that homebrewers love. It possesses so many flavors, your mouth stumbles for a few seconds while it tries to process. I really don't like the maris otter, but with this boldness it works well.I brewed this on 8-29-09 and didn't taste first bottle until the new year, and it could stand to go a little longer.
