D's Nuts Brown Ale

I started with 2.5 gals water for the initial boil. Added the Dextrin Powder and 3# Dry Abler Malt once we started to bubble. Once it got going I added the Nugget hops and started the timer. By this time the spage water was ready to add. Additional 12 min to get back up to boil.
