Notes

Using ingredients on hand. I picked the spruce tips friend just a few hours before the brew though. I tried not to overdo it with the spruce and I believe I will be successful. Not sure if T-58 is the best way to go for a yeast, but I do not have temperature control for fermentation, so the T-58 shouldn't get harsh if it ferments a few degrees over a desired range. Hopefully.
The barley is not flaked. It is raw barley that I smoked with plum tree wood in an offset cooker. Hence the Campfire Ale name. I am aiming for a smoky, sprucey, having a coffee by the campfire beer.
