Hop in the Dark Clone

Randy got this recipe off Hopville, but we had to change a couple of things based on availability of hops.

Ingredients-

Grain:
20 lbs 2 Row Pale Malt
4 lbs Munich Malt
2 lbs 8 oz Flaked Oats
12 oz Crystal 120L
8 oz Chocolate Malt
8 oz Chocolate Wheat
4 oz Black Barley
10 oz Dark Belgian Candy

Hops: (all whole hops unless otherwise noted)
4 oz Nugget @ 60 (pellet)
2 oz Northern Brewer @ 60
2 oz Centennial @ 30
2 oz Cascade @ 15
2 oz Simcoe @ 1

Yeast:
1056 American Ale (in my half)
Safale 04 (in randy's half)

OG: 1.065

15OCT2011- Brewing went great, i love having someone over to brew with. Efficiency is up. I think because of the temperature stuff, and the re-circulation with the pump probably helped.

17OCT2011- Should have used a blow off tube, the krausen clogged the airlock and I almost blew the lid off the bucket, good thing I went and checked on it in time.

24OCT2011- Down to 1.020, Transferred to Secondary

31OCT2011- Down to 1.010, Transferred to keg. Final ABV is 7.2%
