Every year my mom bakes cranberry bread for Thanksgiving, but I can't make it home for the holiday this year. I decided to brew a slice of home, and this is what I came up with. Sorry if the numbers (IBU, SRM, etc.) are a little off. I'm still figuring out Beersmith. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Cheers!
