This is a light bitter ale, kinda modelled after some of Washington's bitters. In particular the ESB and Ballard Bitter from Redhook. My landlord/friend had just been there and brought a bunch back, and I was inspired. Now my brew didn't have the same taste as these, but I think it became a nice bitter pale which many folks enjoyed the night we killed the keg.

Ingredients:

13 pounds, 2--row pale malted barley
2 pounds, 20L crystal malt
1 pound, corn flakes
1 pound, wheat malt
2 ounces, Cascade leaf hops (boil)
1/2 ounce, Perle leaf hops (boil)
1/2 ounce, Fuggles leaf hops (boil)
1 ounce, Chinook leaf hops (boil)
1/2 ounce, Chinook leaf hops (finish)
1/2 ounce, Fuggles leaf hops (finish)
Wyeast German ale yeast #1007
1 ounce per carboy, Northern Brewer hops pellets (dry hop in secondary)

Procedure:

I did a step mash, following normal procedure.
