Notes

Use pure unsweetened cranberry juice (such as Knudsen or Lakewood), not the stuff you drink for breakfast. Add at flameout to retain the flavor.

I racked to the secondary after 10 days, then waited a week before bottling.

Looks and tastes true to the style, except it has just a hint of cranberry. Opened at a Christmas gathering and it was far more popular than any of the commercial beers offered!
