Wicked lavender ale

Wicked lavender ale

Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer • Extract • 5 gal

I used two ounces of lavender in the boil, another oz. in the last four minutes for bittering, and another ounce at the end for aroma. The finished ale retained the pleasant, distinctive lavender scent nicely.
