August 23 Solitary Brew it - Gruit
Specialty Beer • Partial Mash • 5 gal
I brewed this one and bottled it after splitting the batch. batch one included Pau D'arco, Sweet Gale, Milk thistle and mugwort at bottling and Batch 2 had Sweet Gale, Yerba Mate and juniper berries as well as a mystery herb. The taste is like spiced flanders red if you can imagine w/ the rosemary and sage as the most noticeable herbs.
