4.0 oz. Dextrine malt (Cara-Pils)
Steep: Steeped the grains for about 30 minutes...from heat on to 180°. Boiled 4 gallons in two pots cuz it kept boiling over. Took me 30 min. to chisel off the carmalized DME from the stove.

Log: Brewed on 8/16/02. I may dry hop in a couple of weeks. Haven't made up my mind yet. I have some Willamette in the fridge that might be destined for this batch. Boy, was it expensive! 14 lbs. of light DME isn't cheap. This is going to be a special holiday concoction, hope it comes out.
