P.S. The Resurrection Ale turned out stupendous. Aging a few weeks in the bottle built up the body tremendously. We did revisit the recipe in May, this time using more acidic hops for the boil (1.5oz Columbus pellets), aroma (Sovereign pellets, 0.5oz) and dry hop (2oz. whole-leaf Willamette) and adding 1/2lb dextrine malt to the mash to increase body and head retention. This IPA turned out to be a real winner... That's Andrew holding up 2 samples of 2 Left Boots while we were brewing yesterday. Andrew named the beer in honor of me arriving in Maine to do field work after a 3 hour drive and realizing I had brought 2 Left Boots... ay yay yay. :)
