Batch 18 - Ye Old Bay Serpent California Common

My first all grain batch of brew! Here is the recipe along with a picture of the mash and the wort lautering into the brew kettle. Yay.... (and it's a new brew category - 7B California Common!).

2 lb. Light Munich malt

0.25 oz. Northern Brewer (7% AA, 5 min.)
