Ingredients:





 6 5/8 lb Northwestern amber malt extr


   3/4 lb 60 degree l crystal malt


 2 1/2 oz Fuggles hop plugs (4.6% alph


     1 oz Cascades whole leaf hops. (5


     1 pk Glen-brew ale yeast






 Recipe by: Karl Lutzen Preparation Time: 4:00 Steep crystal malt for 30


 minutes in 150 degree water. Sparge into  brew pot of hot water and add


 malt extract. Bring to boil and add  1  ounce Fuggles. 20 minutes later add


 another ounce. At the 40 minute mark, toss in the final half ounce of


 fuggles. (Almost threw in a full ounce,  but after tasting wort, decided


 against it---plenty bitter at this  point.) Turn off heat and add Cascades.


 Stirred down the hops slowly and let sit for about 10 minutes. Strain all


 into fermenter containing  ice  water. Cooled. Pitched yeast. Single stage


 ferment. Keg, and age a few days. I came up with the name when helping


 install a phone system  and  after the job was done, I had pulled over


 seven miles of  phone  line...ugh! It's a good ale, but not the "Great Ale"


 that  I'm  still  looking for...maybe it's in the fermenter now? Original


 Gravity: 1.044 Final Gravity: 1.010 Primary Ferment: 10 days
