Dextrose is bottle prime.

Played with this Atomic clone in extract but never realy found balance. Hoping the grain makes it shine.

 

[Hippy]

I did a brew a year or two ago that was supposed to be a variation on a LCPA clone and it turned out very much like an atomic. Don't know if I still have the recipie , but the key was munich and vienna malt. I also mashed at about 67 to give it extra body, which in my opinion Atomic has in spades.
