Racked. Nice, but maybe a little hoppier than it should be. Overall, a pleasant beer. Since the recipe says to bottle in 10-14 days, this will only get a few days in secondary. --Morrigu (talk) 16:46, 3 January 2017 (EST)

Bottled. A little too bitter. Next time I'd use something lower alpha than the norther brewer.--Morrigu (talk) 21:02, 16 January 2017 (EST)
