I will certainly make another batch or something similar in late spring to have on hand. Thanks so much for the recipe. I love the expression on my neighbor's faces when I tell them the recipe is from 1847. Connecting to the past was never so much fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14117101767198119205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-56355012222393079112017-08-03T09:17:46.981-07:002017-08-03T09:17:46.981-07:00M Blunt,

Since it uses such a small amount of grain, I decided to use a no-sparge and modified the grain accordingly. I also added a small amount of Crystal 40L. I have to say I've never brewed such a low gravity beer and the low alcohol certainly affects the flavor. On a hot day as it has been here in Virginia, it's a very drinkable and refreshing beer and I'm liking it the more I drink it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14117101767198119205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-27232598472826237912017-01-31T07:17:30.930-08:002017-01-31T07:17:30.930-08:00Down here in the south east, I'd probably be b...Down here in the south east, I'd probably be better off moving it to a cooler section of yard than I've grown it the past two years, and playing a bit with when in the season to plant, maybe even so far as starting it under the hoops in early march i only started with 50 seeds. <br /><br />My brother in law has a small farm up near Mackinac, and I think it'd do well there.
