Notes:

Very closes to the Sam Adams 76 or Wicked Easy, I dropped the ABV to 5.5% before bottling and letting age for 30 days. Took a total of 2 quarts of water with priming sugar to get to the 5.5. I did use 5oz of priming sugar and the beer is well carbonated. I’m very pleased with how it turned out and had already began tweaking recipe before tasting, myself and all my buddies agree it’s a very good rendition of the Sam 76 and needs no adjusting, so my tweaked recipe may not get tried for awhile.
