2 Packs London 1028 with no starter, allowed smackpack to rev up for 2 days.

Roast Barley for 20 minutes at 350 F

Juniper berries - .5 OZ at 5 minutes

Did not treat water (going for a historically accurate adaptation, where the water you had available would have been what you used.)

Used well water from Tap, is quite hard

This was a fun experiment. Word of caution, make sure you give a disclaimer to anyone who tries it, and have them drink a little at first to make sure they don't have any weird reactions. This stuff can get you VERY drunk

Update on this one. This mellows out dramatically over time, give it a couple months and it'll be smooth
