English Mild

This is an attempt at mimicking a really delicious cask-conditioned English mild I had on a trip to the Twin Cities last January.  I'm going to try to keep the carbonation low, rather than truly doing this cask-style.  This is my first brew since my daughter was born, and it really felt good.  I'm going to try to make this a more regular practice.  Surprisingly, this batch wasn't that bad, taking only around 6 hours from dough in to cleanup.
