INSTRUCTIONS
I did my partial mash, then boiled the wort with the honey and DME and
the Mt Hood for 70 min. I then turned the heat off, added the Cascade
and Basil, and covered and let sit for 30 min. The basil I added may be a
lot; it was about 1/3-1/2 of the "bunch" I bought at the grocery store. I
talked to the brewmaster at the pub where I had the original Honey Basil
and he said they used four "bunches" in 800 gallons. So we'll see. Now it
is fermenting, and is a pretty murky brown color. I didn't think that much
40L Crystal would make it this dark; much darker than I wanted. We'll
see what happens when it is done---looks like I'll need to add the gelatin
this time (I've had good luck with this in the past). I'll let you know
what it tastes like. And I hope the hops are light enough to let the basil
and honey through. I think I have a pretty heavy hand with hops usually.
