lesh ale
Lesh Ale is my third all grain batch and first 11 gallon batch. it's a
great ale, packs a punch and is hopped just about right. turned out a
little lighter then i wanted..i was aiming for a bass like color but got
more of a esb color. anyways, this is a tribute to Phil Lesh, former
bassist for the Grateful Dead.
