Yeast:	Wyeast American Ale Yeast. I smacked the smack pack two days before and made a starter the day before brewing.
Log:	Brew date: Sunday, Feb. 13, 2000. The aroma hops added to the secondary. I used 1 ounce of Hallertau pellets for this.
Carbonation:	Batch priming, bottle refermentation.
Tasting:	It's now June 4, 2000. Over the months, the hop aroma of this beer has nearly disappeared, probably since it is kept unrefrigerated, and I live in Florida. Everything else is great, however! This is a good simple beer for beginners, designed to teach a friend how to brew. (he's head-over-heels into it!) I recommend it to anyone who doesn't wnat the time/trouble of mashing.
