Nessie Wee
Had a yeast cake of 1728 and decided to try to brew a Wee Heavy to dump on it. I'm sticking to a very simple recipe, using ingredients I have around the house, and using some homegrown hops (cascades) for bittering. Just guessing at the %AA. I like the complexity in Skull Splitter and want to try to boil down some of the first runnings to get some heavy carmel/toffee flavors.
