Notes

Freeze dates before fine-chopping (keeps knife a little cleaner). After chopping, create a heavy syrup by heating dates for an hour in 5 quart pan with 6 cups water over medium-high (not quite boiling) heat, stirring to prevent scorching. Add date goop and fruit remnants at beginning of boil.

Add honey at 5 minutes remaining, with Saaz.

My gravity went from 1.074 to 1.01 in primary (6 days), 1.01 to 1.003 in secondary (7 days). You may not get same yeast efficiency, but the ale should be quite good nonetheless!
