PJ Lager

This is an experiment in toasted malt. This brew calls for a whopping
1.5 pounds of toasted victory malt. I expect the finished brew to have
a nice pronounced nuttiness with a good toasted aroma. The hops were
chosen to avoid a citrusy aroma and to give more of a spicy scent.
I did not use Norther Brewers for the bittering hop, but the Recipator
does not have an entry for Target, the actual hop used.
