Batch 76, Summer

A basic pale ale recipe. I won some Northern Brewer hops at the last club meeting raffle. I've never used them before, so this recipe is pretty plain to let the hops show through. Originally, I had thought to use all Northern Brewer, but after I weighed them out and smelled them, they didn't really feel like a finishing hop. I checked the Brewmasters Bible, it agreed, so I used Cascade for finishing.
