This recipe is a modification of one I found in Cats Meow. The gravity at tranfer to secondary was around 1.024. My friend who this is named after likes to drink it before it is actually ready, but given about 3 weeks in the bottle the flavor mellows quite nicely. I'm sure this recipe would work very well in a Corny Keg which I plan to try soon.
