Notes

The honey used has been aged with ginger for three months.
The estimated fermentation time for this recipe is 9 days, as the yeast used is exposed to working temperatures of between 25°C and 28°C on average.
It is matured at a warm temperature (estimated room temperature between 25°C and 28°C) for about 15 days.

With this recipe we try to obtain a beer with sweet, bitter and spicy notes.
