My 6th Year of making this recipe. It is based on Pg 225 of Joy of Homebrewing but PERFECTED!!! Note, the complex sugars in the adjuncts makes this a beverage that tends to EXPLODE in your primary carboy. I strongly suggest a venting hose be attached to your airlock and immersed in a sealed 2 Liter Plastic Bottle. You can ignore this advise only if you were planning on repainting your house anyway.
