The 6 pounds of sweet potatoes were in a large can... the ghost of Thanksgiving Past. I put them into two pans and baked until the top was almost burnt.

Moderate sweet potato flavor comes through. Honey and biscuit malts accentuate sweet potato flavor, as does 1968 yeast fermented at 70. Magnum hops were used for clean bittering. No flavor or aroma hops were added so as not to distract from the sweet potato.

We don't add spices to our sweet potato pies, so none were added to this recipe.
