Batch 51, Panama Red

Need I say more? This is the best beer, period!

10 gallon batch.

Grain:
20.25 lbs 2-row
1.5 lbs Crystal 80
0.5 lbs Chocolate malt

Hops:
2 oz Mt Hood, FWH
1.5 oz Galena, 60 minutes -- I was out of Nugget, the Galena was fine for bittering
2 oz Cascade, 10 minutes
2 oz Cascade, 5 minutes
2 oz Mt Hood, 5 minutes

I was out of Nugget, so I used some fresh Galena (whole) that someone picked up from the hop tour that the brew club attended. About half of the Cascade was homegrown in Black Diamond.
