Strange Stout

My first all-grain attempt- it turned out remarkably good!

Alcohol:	5.6% v/v (4.4% w/w)

	I used leaf Northern Brewer hops in a muslin bag for the entire boil
Hops:	.75 oz. Northern Brewer (7.4% AA, 60 min.)
Yeast:	Wyeast 1084 from the XL size package. Worked wonderfully for a 3 gallon batch. For a 5, I think I'd use the normal size & make a 1 quart or larger starter.
