How can it be better?  FWIW, I kegged my latest version yesterday.  Started at 1.064, finished at 1.012.
Denny, I would be interested to know if you get much of a toast flavor using 2L 2 row?

I can't really say about the toast flavor, but it tastes remarkably like Celebration.

I have made several versions using standard 2 row and thier similar, just did one with pale ale malt (just getting ready to dry hop) and it is a lot closer. Also feel the toastyness helps dry out the finish a lot. not saying thats how SN does it, but at the homebrew scale I find it to be a lot closer.

Tried mine again yesterday after posting and there's a definite toastiness to it.  I'll have to get some more Celebration to compare.

Interesting, what maltsters did your grains come from?
