FOR HOP HEADS ONLY!!! Victory malt adds a nice toastiness, and Maris Otter, and 50ºL crystal balance the hops nicely...

For an all-grain version, mash 11# (ttl) Maris Otter with specialty grains @152º for 60 minutes (or untill conversion)...

Hope you don't mind a question from a virgin. I'm kicking it off with your recipe. I see there are two fermentation steps. Is the second the bottle or another fermentation. I'm fine either way I have two car boys and a bucket. If there are two. How long should I wait after bottling to drink?

Woh !! Willie, do your self a favor and start your brewing experience with some less-challanging recipe. Make it easy the first time, you will have plenty of things to do and things to worry about, without the hassle of a complicated recipe. Get yourself a Kit-beer,most of these make very tasty beers, that you will be proud to call your own. After you have made a few batches, then try some recipes.<br>The fermentation is done in two steps, the first for about a week, then transfer the beer into the secondary, leaving the sediment behind.Leave it there for another week, then add the corn sugar and bottle.<br>It takes about 2 weeks for the carbonation to form and be drinkable.<br>Good Luck, Jim

Jim, I made your beer. It sucked and tasted like hay from the crappy dry hop addition
