Just thought I'd thank everyone on here for pushing AG heavily, because it really is the best way to make beer.
I made up the recipe for my beer based on the craft brewer grain descriptions and just thinking "oh that sounds yummy". I bought the grain from beer belly and had a good talk to domonsura. But otherwise, my recipe was based on guessing. If you like very bitter dark, full strength lager, that is somehow also easy drinking (once you get into it), has great aroma and a nice creamy head, then I recommend my brew.
Sorry for the format, I don't have any brew software. Also my set up sucks, so it is likely that the beer might turn out heavier since my efficiency probably sucks.
