I popped the smack pack, waited 4 hours till it swelled up, then pitched it into a 3-quart starter made from Briess Light DME, to an O.G. of 1.066.

On brew day, I "top-cropped" 1 quart of krausen from the starter and pitched that at at 72° F.

Log: Fermented in a 60-70° environment for 10 days, then racked into secondary. Dry-hopped with ½ oz US Kent Goldings and added ½ cup of steamed oak chips. Aged in secondary for 14 days, then kegged.
