Easy and fun, this brew is entirely Malt Extract and honey, making it simple and accessible to the average homebrewer who wants to make good beer without much equipment. The honey is used as a ABV booster, and doesn't add much flavor. The name comes from Magnum hops, and I used .5 oz of them.

Special Instructions
1.I made a starter, but that isn't neccessary.
2.Boil 5 gallons of water.
3.Add LME and honey to water, stirring until dissovled.
4.Start with the hop additions, first at 45 minutes, then 5 minutes.
5.Add whirlfloc at 5 minutes.
6.Once boil time reaches 0, kill the flame and begin cooling.
7.Once the wort reaches 90 F or 32 C, pitch yeast. It can handle the high temperatures, and actually prefers them.
8.Shake to add oxygen to the wort, 1 minute is fine.
9.Ferment in the range of 85-100 F or 30-38 C. The hotter the ferment, the more esters are produced. Fermentation will go very quickly, especially if the temperature is hotter. I found it lasted X days at X.
10.Add Lemondrop hops after first day, or second day at temperature less than 80 F or 27 C.
11.Let the beer sit on the lees and the hops for 3 days
12.Rack off lees and bottle or keg. I used 3.7 oz of Dextrose for
