Notes

Winters in the islands. Tropical breezes, palm trees, sand in your bathing suit. Nothing that a cool, refreshing adult beverage can't handle. So relax and chill, mon.

2 yeast packs, one as starter, stir or shake regularly to reach desired yeast count.

First brew, a bit heavy on the ginger, makes a great Moscow mule, as well as a very nice sorbet.
