I am starting to plan for a large batch of GLCA that i would like to get brewed in the next few months so that it can have plenty of time to age before Thanksgiving.
My goals is to brew early August, Primary through August, Secondary through September and then bulk age half in kegs till Thanksgiving and bottle the rest to give away as gifts this x-mas.
i have done some research online and i have found a recipe that looks good and I would like to ask for some help in tweaking it if needed and for any process tips ya'll may have. Any suggestions would be great.
Here is where I am starting from:
