Brewers Notes:

I added 2 teaspoons of Irish Moss to the boil in the last 20 minutes.

I always wanted to do a over hopped, over colored high powered type Vienna.

This brew goes well over the style guidelines but I have been dying to try it.

The malt smell during Primary has completely taken over my basement.

I will update this recipe when the beer is drinkable to let you all know how the final preoduct turned out.
