Notes

This is my poor man's take on Pat McGovern and Dogfish Head's Kvasir. I followed the recipe in McGovern's book previously (look through my recipes, it is also shared), and was very happy with the result. I'm not much of a wheat beer guy, and the other specialized ingredients were quite pricey, so I tried to scale down here, while keeping with the spirit of the original. Fingers crossed.

After 30 minutes of the boil, remove two cups of wort to a smaller pot. Heat the wort to keep it hot, but do not boil it. Add the yarrow and meadowsweet. Steep this mix until the end of the boil, then strain it into to the kettle.

This beer turned out pretty well, tart and crisp. It tasted quite similar to the Kvasir Clone that I made from the recipe in McGovern's book. This recipe was significantly cheaper, though.
