Brew Day

Well, I was going to try to follow the recipe from gruitale.com as close as I could...but, as things go, I'm not going to.

Anyways, here is what I ended up doing.

6 lbs. Amber Malt Extract
3 lbs. Golden Malt Extract

1oz Yarrow and 1oz Mugwort at 60 minutes
1g Sweet Gale at 30 minutes
1oz Yarrow at 15 minutes
2oz Heather Tips at 15 minutes

Chill this down, add 25 crushed Juniper Berries (I'm not sure if I will like this part, but I'll go along with it), pitch Yeast (Nottingham) and let ferment for 4 to 6 weeks.

This is going to be the challenging part...the long wait. This is going to take about 8 months.

The smell was wonderful as all of this was brewing on the stove.
