Ingredients:
6 lbs Munton’s Extra Light Malt
3 lbs Munton’s Light Malt
1 lbs Crystal Grain 20L
0.5 lbs Crystal Grain 60L
0.5 lbs Vienna Grain
1 oz German Perle Hops
1 oz Tatthanger Hops
8 oz Malto Dextrin
1 tsp Irish Moss
German Ale/Kolsh Yeast
Phase 1: Steeping Grains & Boiling Wort
One pound of American Crystal 20L, a half pound of American Crystal 60L and a half pound of German Vienna were added to a hop bag and allowed to steep in three gallons of water that was between 154-160 degrees F for 20-30 minutes. This produced a nice slightly dark wort. Brought the 3 gallons to a boil (which took a long time on the stove top) and added Extra Light Malt, Light Malt and Malto Dextrin. Also added the German Perle hops (7.0% AA) to the beginning of the boil. Allowed the wort to boil for an hour. Added 1 tsp of Irish Moss with 15 minutes left in boil. Added 1 oz Tettnanger hops (4.7% AA) with five minutes left in the boil to add aroma. These hops smelled fantastic and they were whole hops instead of hop pellets which I normally use.
Phase 2: Primary Fermentation
Strained wort (because of the whole hops) into the primary fermentor bucket. Added about 10 lbs of ice and 1 gallon of cold water to the bucket to chill the wort down and bring total gallons to about 5.5 gallons. Original gravity of wort was 1.083 @ 70 degrees F. Bitterness should be around 27 IBU. Will ferment beer in primary for at least two weeks before moving to a secondary fermentor. We are already five days into the primary fermentation and yeast activity is still quite lively with the air lock bubbling once every couple seconds.

Your result for The Neurotic Test…
Well-Adjusted
You scored 32 anxiety, 28 awkwardness, and 47 neuroticism!
You scored low in all categories–so there’s no need to worry! Not that you were worrying, anyway. You are so
Well-Adjusted that I almost feel the need to worry for you.
Your low anxiety score implies that you are able to relax, can enjoy the here and now, and have a healthy amount of self-confidence.
Your low awkwardness score implies that you are socially capable, are personable and charming, and probably go to parties and have fun.
Your low neuroticism score implies that you don’t exhibit subtle neurotic behaviors–your nails are probably an acceptable length, your pencils aren’t covered with bite marks, and your bookcase isn’t arranged alphabetically by genre. Congrats!

I ordered several United States Disc Golf Championship (USDGC) Rocs from eBay and ZoneDriven.com. When these discs are released they are bought up in a manner of minutes because of their rarity. These are some of the most sought after discs in disc golf. It has to do with the fact they are only sold once in the year as a fundraiser for the USDGC. The plastic is a special blend you can only get at this event.
