Notes

going to split the 6 gallons into 2 batches in the secondary:

batch 1 - dry hop with 0.75oz Liberty pellet hop batch 2 - add 3lbs of clover Honey (I need to get rid of this somehow - what better way than to beef up my beer?)

We'll see how it turns out!

it was made on May 3, 2005 on American Homebrewers Association Big Brew Day in honor of Michael Jackson.
