- Preparation Time: 4:00 Steep crystal malt for 30 min in 150 degree water. Sparge into brew pot of warm water and add in malt extract. Bring to boil and add in 1 oz Fuggles. 20 min later add in another oz. At the 40 minute mark, toss in the final half oz of fuggles. (Almost threw in a full oz, but after tasting wort, decided against it-plenty bitter at this point.) Turn off heat and add in Cascades.
- Stirred down the hops slowly and let sit for about 10 min. Strain all into fermenter containing ice water. Cooled. Pitched yeast. Single stage ferment. Keg, and age a few days. I came up with the name when helping install a phone system and after the job was done, I had pulled over seven miles of phone line...ugh! It's a good ale, but not the "Great Ale"
- which I'm still looking for...maybe it's in the fermenter now Original Gravity: 1.044
- Final Gravity: 1.010 Primary Ferment: 10 days
