Notes

Two or three days before brew day, make a 1-qt. (1-L) yeast starter, aerating the wort thoroughly (preferably with oxygen) before pitching the yeast.

Prepare the roasted figs. Select fresh, ripe, plump figs (Black Mission figs, preferably). Wash, dry, and cut the stem and top off, then slice in half lengthwise. Roast cut side up at 325 °F
(163 °C) for 2 to 2.5 hours, checking to make sure they don’t burn or get too dry. The goal is to get the figs very soft and the sugars deeply caramelized. Run the figs under a broiler briefly if necessary to get final caramelization. Let cool. Mash the figs into a paste and reserve for later.

Add candi syrup at 10 min.

Add figs and anise in mesh bag at knockout and steep for 15 min.

Chill to 66 deg and pitch yeast

Ferment at 66 deg.
