Notes

4th Go around on this beer. This is an excellent beer..one that the women folk will love (validate your habit). One major change to this recipe versus others is the change in yeast used....usually we use White Lab 009 but the store was out of that thus we are going with the above wyeast. Add an additional 3 lbs (or to taste) of honey in the secondary. Using Orange Blossom honey for this batch. Usually we have used Fireweed.

It's a 60 minute boil--add up the hop schedule. Boiling longer might caramelize the honey.
