So the Happy Birthday Aunt Trixie was a huge success, especially to my wife. She was really psyched on it and started to give me some flack about giving it away, so I told her I would brew up some more. So here it is. I modified it a bit from the original, but it's pretty similar.
Recipe:
5.5 Gallons
Grain:
10 lb GW 2-Row
Hops:
.6oz Nugget Pellets from Old Dirty Randy for 60m
Yeast:
1056 Slurry that keeps on giving
Extras:
1tsp Irish Moss at 15m
I'll add 24oz of boiled and strained Raspberries when I rack to secondary.

Notes:
The new grain mill at Brew Brothers must be doing it's thing because I was back to 75% efficiency today. That means that instead of 4.2ish % ABV, I got 5%. Still a decent session summery ale, so I'm happy with that. OG was 1.052. FG should be about 1.013 for the 5% mark. Everything went super smooth as well. Total brew time was about 4 hours. Sunny day as well. Perfect Brew Day!
Update 6/25/11: Racked to secondary and added the raspberries. I boiled 24oz for about 1/2 hour and then strained out the chunks and added the raspberry juice/extract to the brew. Forgot to get a final gravity. I'm assuming it was around 1.012ish.
