This is from a BYO recipe, which is much different from my old recipe but I gave it a shot since the brewer from Troegs was the source. I know the hops in this are not what the bottle says they use but I wanted to give this a shot.

After a month in the fermenter and carbonation this beer is right on with Mad Elf!

Notes:

My OG was 1.100 not the 1.093 that this calculator has but my friend that brewed this with me had an OG of 1.086 so maybe our process isn't perfect but it makes good beer. Color looked good when adding to fermenter. Activity in both ferm buckets after 10 hours in ferm fridge.
