Here's what I brewed for my Leanne Fraoch:
1 can John Bull light extract
3 lbs. Muntons light DME
1 cup table sugar carmelized (boiled until dark)
8 oz Victory Malt
8 oz Simpson's Golden Promise
1/2 oz Fuggles FWH
2 cups fresh heather - 45 min (fraoch)
2 cups fresh heather - 15 min
1 cup fresh lavender leaves - 15 min (an lus liath)
1/2 oz Kent Goldings - 15 min
1 tsp Irish Moss - 15 min
1 cup fresh heather - 5 min
WL028 Edinburgh yeast
OG 1.055
racked to secondary 11/29, SG 1.015
Bottled 12/06, SG 1.015, ABV 5.3%
I was origanally disapointed at the lact of heather odor at brewing. When I bottled, the floral aroma and taste were there! Really nice & delicate. Should make a nice Christmas gift to my sister and brother-in-law.
