I brewed this batch the weekend after my daughter was born. My Father-in-Law helped me brew it, his first home brewing experience. This batch holds a special place in my home brewing heart. To make it an “Apple” ale I added 1 gallon of apple cider after 3 days of active fermentation. I let it rest in the secondary fermenter for a couple of bonus weeks. The reviews I read about this recipe said to that it gets better with time, more time in the secondary and in the bottle. It should hit it’s flavor peak around Valentine’s day.
