Batch 17 - Not Quite Pale Ale

This recipe came from a book called Clone Brews, though I've modified it to fit with what I had available.

Wyeast 1272 American Ale Yeast II
10 oz 55L British crystal malt
3 oz Black Poter (was supposed to be chocolate malt, but I grabbed the wrong grain)
6 lb light LME
1 oz Chinook hops @ 60 min
1 oz Mt Hood hops 3% AA @ 60 min
.5 oz Tettnanger hops @ 15 min
1 tsp Irish moss @ 15 min
.5 oz Fuggles hops @ 10 min
.5 oz Fuggles hops @ 1 min
.5 oz Cascade hops @ secondary

Because I ended up using Black Poter it isn't very pale. So I guess I'll just call it an ale. This batch I tried making a starter. I added a yeast sample saved from my last batch, together with a bottle of a Mexican beverage called Malta Goya. I opened the Malta, poured out about a third, added yeast, and placed a rubber stopper and airlock on the bottle. The next day it was bubbling and ready to add to the batch.
