  What in the world is that going to taste like?! Did you go into a field and pick as many
  "herbs" as you could find? :ban:I have no idea, really. I made one before on an IPA base with
  the same ingredie...

  Sour Gruit, Dubbel grain bill brewed with Nettle, Mugwort, Marsh Rosemary, Sweet Gale, and Wild
  Yarrow. Saison primary sacc, followed by inoculation with my dregs of a Consecration clone.

  For those curious, the time has come. This stuff is awesome, dry like champagne and
  refreshingly tart. Got lots of great feedback at my club about how refreshing/dry/delicious it
  is :)

  Yep, 60 min boil for the herbs. You want to use them to bitter.

  So props to anyone who gets the reference in the name... This is a recipe for an ancient
  hop-less gruit. Supposedly highly-intoxicating and prone to producing amorous feelings along
  with being a cure ...

  About 1.016. At 1.015 you're supposed to remove 1/2 gal of must, steep w/ remaining heather,
  and return. I went ahead and did it because I was close. The must is still fermenting down to
  my target SG

  Just took a gravity reading. This stuff is amazing!

  Lost a little more than expected to heather trub... wound up with about 4.5 gal at 1.062, which
  is still in the range I expected.

  Here's the wax floating to the surface from the comb (very easy to skim off)

  So here's the heather being stirred in and the resulting heather tea I woke up to. I was
  surprised, it's darker than I thought it would be.
