Sister Star of the Sun

This is the Recipator adaptation of the Sister Star of the Sun recipe posted in Cat's Meow by David Brockington. The original recipe and rights belong to him. I just wanted to take the recipe and plug it in here to see what came out and to share it with others. The only adjustment I made was to reduce the grain bill to fall in-line with the 1.065 OG for my system's 75% efficiency. This is an amazing beer for hop-heads. Be sure to look up the original recipe in the Cat's Meow for full comments by David.
