Sunnycroft Lager

A rainy, January day; Lets brew a lager.  This lager, as most I do, is a variation on Ben's Lager, using Blue Ox Malt and trying supplies from the Fair Share Coop in Norway, sponsored by Pennesseewassee Brewing.  Supply was limited so some substitutions were made.  The yeast was not refrigerated, and I didn't see the hops, which were probably refrigerated.  No signs of a brew club yet.
