batch #103 - Heather Ale

Here's to SPRING, and the happy appearance of flowers everywhere!  This batch of my Heather Ale landed 78 bottles and one 5-liter keg in my cellar, all best tasted after May 25.

Due to Noah's request, I am beginning with this batch, to post my recipes in the messages area below each post.  Let me know how it turns out, if you brew a batch yourself, and please save me a bottle!

Habanero and Heather Ales - Batch #96

Here are a pair of unlikely cousins, born from the same mash, but fermented with different yeasts and bottled with different adjunct ingredients. The Heather Ale was bottled with essence of heather flowers, an old Celtic recipe I imitated from Fraoch Heather Ale, an historic Scottish Ale. The Habanero Ale is a popular recipe I developed years ago, with just a taste of the famous Habanero Pepper, the hottest little pepper in the world. The monks on the label are from a greeting card I found. That's the Helix Nebula behind them. Where you goin', guys?
