Andys Rock Out with the Hawk Out Pale Ale

Well yesterday I decided to play with my new Spaltz hops.  I have never tried these but have heard a lot of good about them.  My LHBS owner says these are one of his favorite types of hops.  I also tried a new idea of mine (new to me probably old news to everyone else) and used muslin bags for my hops.  It seemed to work great and I had a lot less sludge in the bottom after I transfered to the primary.  It really made for easy clean up if nothing else.  So far everything is going right and good on this one.  I woke up this morning and the yeast was doing the happy dance.  I will leave it in the primary for about 10 - 14 days and throw it in the keg for Andys visit.  Andy is the best friend I have ever had and that is saying a lot but it is true.  That is why I named this one for him.  Here is the recipe I used.  PROST!
