Big Buck Old Ale

Got my buck this year, so Big Buck Old Ale was on the menu.

12 pounds Maris Otter
1 pound Wheat malt
1 pound 80L Crystal
4 ounces Roasted Barley
90 minute boil
60 minutes 1 oz Willamette leaf
30 minutes 1/2 ounce Willamette leaf
15 minutes 2 ounces Willamette, 1 pound sugar,  1 tsp Irish Moss
Overshot volume, so missed gravity, collected 5.25 gallons of 1065 wort, about a gallon left in kettle.
Should be very tasty anyway.
