Notes

Orange Blossom Honey (non-pasteurized) in (8) 11 oz. jars from Wal-Mart is introduced the very end of the 60 minute boil at flame out. Just long enough to pasteurize. I Do a 9 gallon wort boil in a 10 gallon kettle. It is distributed evenly in to (3) 5 gallon fermentors with 2 gallons of cold water already in each to help cool the wort to yeast pitching temperature (I use 1 package of Liquid Wyeast Ringwood Ale in each 5 gallon fermentor). Produces a potent Light Ale with sweetness at the end balancing the Hallertau Mittlefruh spicy-ness. My personal favorite.
