Notes

This is a very nice drinking ale. Ready to bottle or keg in 8 to 10 days but I always follow 1wk primary, 2wks secondary,(you must let the yeast finish and this is where the beer becomes crystal clear) then keg or bottle....If you bottle, let it sit for 2 to 3 weeks minimum. It will be worth the wait! also used 1 whole Whirfloc tablet. All my friends loved this one. Be careful! this stuff will sneak up on you! Prime with 4oz. priming sugar as usual.
