It has been my favorite since the first batch. Does anyone recognize this recipe because if its yours I'd like to say a big THANK YOU. Probably from around 2007. don't remember the forum or website.
Um, it's February.
Isn't that the beauty of it. You can have an oktoberfest or maibock any time you choose

I could care less what month it is, I'll brew what I want to drink when I want to drink it.
