Notes

Used what I had on hand, so not all traditional ingredients. Hops for bittering only so shouldn't matter what type used. Threw in a touch of cardamon and clove which I've done before to give more Wit flavor.

  • 5 cardomin SEEDS not whole pods

    Will report back on how it turned out and flavor.
