Mild (11A)

For a nice change of pace, I thought to have a session beer available.  After an unsuccessful attempt at an Ordinary Bitter, I formulated this recipe, a Dark Mild.  I find it very chocolatey, semi-sweet and extremely quaffable.  Galaxy hops are not to style but this beer isn't about hops.  You may also notice the insane mash schedule, I mashed in then went to work.  Came home, sparged and boiled.
