90 MINS BOIL


About 40g dried henbane leaf

Use twice the amount of yeast to cope with the hembane.

Using a separate hop-bag infuser, add the henbane about 15 minutes before the end of the boil.
Leave the henbane infuser in as the beer cools.

NOTE Henbane (Hyoscyamus niger) is poisonous but was once used in beer, it is also hallucinogenic (3 pints will do it!!).
I wouldn't recommend you using this ingredient with out looking it up.
