General Info
Inspired by Michael Bade's McPherson's Beard recipe - adjusted for my system. Grain percentages are the same; hop amounts differ, but are calculated to target 18 IBUs of the original recipe.
Michael stated that "it turned out bigger than expected," thus bringing it into Export territory.
Targeted 4.7% with a final gravity of 1.008.
Buddy Brew with Geoff Shideler where the club brewed Michael Bade's recipes to celebrate his life after his passing in 2022.
