This recipe has produced great beers during mid summer with fermantation temperatures of 80 degrees (F). It also tolerates a short primary (4 days) followed by an equally short secondary when rushed to kegging for a party. Superbowl '95 this beer primaried 5 days, secondaried 3 days, was racked to the keg, jam carbed at 25 PSI with violent shaking for 15 minutes, chilled in the fridge overnight at 40 degrees and was just right by game time the next day.
