Notes

This recipe follows that given by Charlie Papazian in The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, 3rd ed., (pp.218-219), with a few changes. I've added 1 lb of dried rice extract to boost the alcohol content, and 5 oz of dextrine malt to improve the head. I am also using Irish ale yeast instead of American ale yeast. The cherries used are different as well. Charlie calls for 3 lbs of sour cherries and 2 lbs of choke cherries. I plan to simply use 5 lbs of ripe red cherries.
