A Challenge!

Jake has challenged me to a beer-off! This is very exciting. We will be brewing the same recipe (below), an Ordinary Bitter, and see what kind of results we get. I ordered a pound of Fuggle hops from Hops Direct and sold 4 oz to Jake and Kelly (at cost, of course). So now I have 13.5 oz of Fuggle hops (they gave me a heavy lb) that need to used in some beer. Thus the English Mild, or the Brown ale on my to-do list. As I said, I'm looking forward to this brew-off, which I will probably brew this weekend, and will of course post all things brew related.
